Episode 13 - Catherine Chinatree

Liminal Gallery Podcast host, Louise Fitzjohn, speaks with contemporary artist Catherine Chinatree to coincide with her solo exhibition 'Again Again' in our main space at Liminal Gallery in Margate. The exhibition opened on Saturday 22nd July and continues until 5th August 2023.

Featuring bespoke work created for Liminal’s unique space alongside Christie’s saturated wall-based minimalist sculptures, the exhibition invites viewers to question notions of infallibility, self-identity, and the intersection of art and spirituality while showcasing the artist's ability to ignite meaningful conversations.

Created during her transformative Artist Residency in Motherhood amidst Sintra's picturesque landscapes in Portugal, the new artworks in 'Again Again' are powerful reflections Chinatree's experience.

Immersed in the vibrant tapestry of local life and culture for three months, Chinatree embarked on the artistic journey alongside her young son. The resulting works on paper capture the essence of her surroundings, resonating with the repetitive rhythms of artistic creation and everyday life. This series intricately weaves together themes of motherhood and the significance of everyday rituals, delving into the realms of social surrealism. Symbolising personal journeys and the echoes of historical narratives, including colonial histories, the artworks portray the ebb and flow of movement. Water, a recurring motif in Chinatree's work, carries its inherent symbolism of fluidity and transformation, interwoven with the ethereal strands of Romanticism.

'Again Again' stands as a testament to Chinatree's immersive research methodology, blending elements of the fairytales, myths, and folklore that are deeply rooted in Sintra's rich historical tapestry. This series of works invite viewers on a visual voyage through the realms of personal and cultural exploration.
