Kathryn Maple solo show at Bolee and Workman
In this brief gallery walkthrough, the speakers discuss Kathryn Maple’s solo exhibition at Bolee and Workman, noting how the lighting on the day of the visit alters the perception of color and texture across the works. They describe the muted palette, the interplay of grid lines with figures, and the tactile surface beneath the paint. Specific paintings are highlighted: “Night Walk Home,” a dark, atmospheric piece; “Amongst the Willows,” noted for its strong texture; and the large canvas “Mimu.” The conversation touches on the psychological impact of large-scale works, which can feel overwhelming and keep viewers at a distance. Technical details such as medium (oil on canvas) and dimensions (approximately 3 m × 1.93 m, or roughly 10 ft × 6 ft) are also mentioned. Overall, the talk offers an observational, appreciative commentary on the visual and material qualities of Maple’s paintings and how exhibition conditions influence their reception.
