ABOUT THE ARTIST
Kath Leone
Kath Leone is a contemporary artist and textile designer from Cape Town, South Africa. Her highly imaginative, pseudo botanical art features plants, insects, animals, fungi and sea life. Compelled by the glow and depth of overlapping colours in screen printing, Kath aims to capture some of the charm found in old-fashioned fabrics by combining layers of translucent inks to build enchanting colour palettes in her work.
Having a condition called synaesthesia, specifically grapheme-colour and chromesthesia, Kath experiences continual additional colour, texture and shape perception when hearing everyday sounds and words. This saturates Kath’s mind and life, influencing her artistic practice and explaining her obsession with colour-mixing.
