Katharine Alecse

"Katie uses her hyper-real painting skills to create juxtopositions between animal forms and human traits, forming surrealistic worlds where the viewer can both be lost within, and closely relate to, the scene in front of them.

FSTOP features artist Katie Buckett 
Based in London now, Katie is a vocalist and founding member of the band, Jingo. Her artistic range doesn’t stop there though – she’s a highly accomplished oil painter, shedding light to reverie. Check out this charming artist below. 

"The realism of these paintings draws you into a world of Brown’s creation until the real world becomes fable and you realise that what began as a mere picture has become a series of emotional inflections associated with a place you cannot quite reach. Something similar occurs in the hyper-realist paintings of Katie Buckett, where the tradition of portraiture envelops animals as well has humans, making for surrealist conjunctions of characters in banal situations."
