Catherine Pennington-Meyer MA, MSc
Catherine Pennington-Meyer is an award-winning artist who lives and works in Augsburg, near Munich, in Germany. Her work concentrates primarily on abstract expressionism. Catherine has participated in exhibitions throughout Europe and the US, and has quickly established a prestigious
international collector base. In addition to White Space, she is currently, or has been represented through, Wychwood Art Gallery in the UK, Blue Blood Gallery in Prague, Five3 Gallery in the USA, Artoui Gallery in Munich and Parcus Gallery in Munich. She is also represented through platforms such as Singulart (where in 2024 she was identified as being amongst the top 5% selling artists, internationally) and Kooness.

Catherine says of her art:  `I see my painting as a kind of language, translating what I feel or
experience to those viewing it. I am innately drawn to create raw, emotive, expressionist pieces, mostly abstracts, which distil a subject down to its feeling. I don`t only want my art to be `beautiful` but for it to reach out and touch the person who is viewing it on an immediate, intuitive level. I want my paintings to speak to their audience in their own visceral language. I am influenced by nature, particularly the multifaceted nature of water, and memories of growing up in particularly beautiful landscapes in North Yorkshire and Scotland. I also find human psychology and science fascinating.
But I see compositions everywhere, whether it be flowers in a park, the way smoke curls, books on a library shelf or a street market. Everything is made up of shapes and colours. The world is a constant source of influences and inspiration.

Over time, as her work has developed, she has been increasingly compelled towards abstraction, through which she feels able to communicate an energy which is untethered by the constraints of realism. She enjoys playing with light, depth and movement in her art to give it immediacy and to draw a viewer into the composition. Catherine also enjoys poetry, and her works occasionally have accompanying narratives. Catherine views visual and written art as two sides of one coin and likes the
notion that ‘painting is silent poetry, and poetry painting that speaks’ (Plutarch).

Catherine Pennington-Meyer MA, MSc
Catherine Pennington-Meyer ist eine preisgekrönte Künstlerin, die in Augsburg, in der Nähe von München, in Deutschland, lebt und arbeitet. Ihre Arbeit konzentriert sich hauptsächlich auf den abstrakten Expressionismus. Catherine hat an Ausstellungen sowohl in Europa, als auch den USA teilgenommen, wodurch sie schnell einen renommierten internationalen Sammlerstamm aufbaute. Zusätzlich zu White Space, ist sie aktuell auch in der Wychwood Art Gallery im Vereinigten Königreich, Blue Blood Gallery in Prag, der Five3 Gallery in den USA, Parcus Gallery in München, und Artoui Gallery in München, vertreten.

Catherine sagt zu ihrer Kunst: "Ich sehe mein Bild als eine Art Sprache, die, für diejenigen, die es sehen, übersetzt, was ich fühle oder erfahre. Ich bin von Natur aus dazu hingezogen, rohe, emotionale, expressionistische Bilder,
meist abstrakt, zu kreiren, die ein Thema auf sein Gefühl herunterbrechen. Ich möchte nicht, dass meine Kunst nur "schön" ist, sondern, dass sie die Betrachter erreicht und auf einem direkten, intuitiven Level berührt. Ich möchte, dass meine Bilder mit ihrer inneren Sprache zu den Leuten sprechen. Ich bin von der Natur, speziell der vielschichtigen Natur des Wassers,
und den Erinnerungen des Aufwachsens in der schönen Landschaft von North Yorkshire und Schottland beeinflusst. Ebenfalls finde ich die menschliche Psyche und Wissenschaft faszinierend. Aber ich sehe überall Kompositionen, in Blumen im Park, die Art, wie sich Rauch verhält, Bücher auf einem
Schrank oder ein Straßenmarkt. Alles ist aus Formen und Farben gemacht. DIe Welt ist eine konstante Quelle der Inspiration und Einflüsse."

Im Laufe der Zeit als sich ihre Arbeit weiterentwickelte, zog es Sie zur Abstraktion, durch welche Sie eine Energie kommunizieren kann, die ganz ungebunden vom Realismus ist.
Sie mag es mit Licht, Tiefe und Bewegung zu spielen, um den Betrachter in den Bann zu ziehen. Catherine mag ebenfalls Poesie, weshalb einige ihrer Werke begleitende Erzählungen haben. Catherine sieht visuelle und geschriebene Kunst als zwei Seiten einer Münze und mag die Idee, dass "Malerei stille Poesie und Poesie, Malerei ist die spricht" (Plutarch)
