Ahead of her solo show, Chromasome, opening at 1969 Gallery on September 6, we take a look at some of the works of Los Angeles-based painter, Kate Meissner in today's A Portfolio. There is something voyeuristic, private, almost surreal to her works, and we just can't get enough of the colors she is using.
Kate Meissner (b. 1995, Sacramento, California) is an artist based in Los Angeles. She received an MFA in painting from Yale University (2021) and a BFA from California Polytechnic University San Luis Obispo (2017). 1969 Gallery has shown Meissner's work in Pure Joy: 14 Disabled Visual and Performance Artists, curated by Chella Man as well as Contemporary Art Now (CAN) in Ibiza, 2022 and Untitled Miami, 2022. Selected group exhibitions include Lyles and King in New York, Office Baroque in Antwerp, and Green Hall Gallery in New Haven, CT. Meissner’s work has been acquired by Denver Art Museum, Denver, CO and Xiao Museum of Contemporary Art, Rizhao, China. 1969 Gallery will present a solo exhibition of Meissner's work in 2023.
