FIELD
KATHERINE STRAUSE
Galleries were closed. The art world was adapting.
Dylan had been looking at Katherine Strause’s paintings and couldn’t stop. She paints with a unique brushstroke. Her paintings are alive, confined, and every canvas is built over an orange undercoat that pushes the color forward like heat. Women with bows drawn against saturated skies. Work this vital doesn’t want a white wall. It wants air. Sun. A horizon.
So he went to Katherine with a proposal: build a body of work for that setting. Eleven canvases, commissioned for a sloping Arkansas field, made to stand in real wind and real light. The painted skies met the actual one.
Then the studio filmed it—a professional crew, a drone moving over the field—so the show could travel to anyone, anywhere. At a moment when people were stuck inside, the work arrived expansive. An experience, not a JPEG.
The paintings sold.
This is the essential work of the studio. We fund shows. We produce exhibitions, pop-ups, and experiences for artists we believe have something to say—and we put their work in front of the patrons who should be living with it. Experimental, joyful, vibrant expression of human creativity is the backbone of Dylan Turk Studio.
