Our friend Catherine

December 1, 2005

One of the best parts of this whole book adventure is that a lot of old friends are contacting me. Yesterday I got an email from Catherine Abel, an Australian artist I met in Paris. Catherine was the first artist Kilometer Zero ever worked with, trusting us – us! – with a selection of her canvases which we hung at the Bistrot des Artistes back in spring 2001 to launch our Venue series. It was the ideal start – a fiery, creative, bold and talented artist who also appreciated our raw but good-hearted attempt to bring art to our audience.

Catherine is currently in Italy, exhibiting at the Florence Biennale. This is a selection of her new work, rich and textured and just plain old good. Do you ever take a moment to look around at the astonishing brilliantly people you have been fortunate to have known? It is humbling indeed and I am an incredibly lucky fellow.
