KATIE DEGROOT COCKTAIL PARTY XIII (COUPLES), 2023 watercolor on paper 48 x 72 in. framed size: 51 x 74 in.

Kathryn Markel Fine Arts presents an exhibition of paintings by Katie DeGroot. “Resplendent” will run from January 4 – February 10, 2024. The exhibition will be on display at the gallery’s 529 West 20th St. location -6W. 

DeGroot’s work pays homage to the seemingly arbitrary, but constant, insistent growth of the botanic world. She considers specific trees alone, and as part of their various natural groupings. Her meticulous, detailed watercolors portray each tree as an individual – each with its specific structure, stance, and decoration of fungi. She also captures how each tree reacts to the other, equally observed characters in the group.
