MEET CATHERINE GUTSCHE ON CANVASREBEL

I was honoured to be interviewed by the folks at CAVASREBEL this month. So many questions that made me really sit down an reflect on my path as an artist from the early years to today. I hope that you learn a few new things about me and my art. Some surprises may be revealed.

"We were lucky to catch up with Catherine Gutsche recently and have shared our conversation below.Catherine, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

As with many artists, I knew I wanted to be an artist from a very early age. My first memory of a creative endeavour was the creation of a paper bag puppet at summer day camp. It is crazy to think that I bought my very first computer by making puppets and selling them at craft fairs later in life.

As for knowing that I would be an artist professionally that process started in junior high school when I was desperate to know how to get into art schools. I think the guidance counsellors thought I was pushing it, I was only in grade 8, I had lots of time to figure it out. But I wanted to know I was on the right path."

Continuum uses collaborative art to explore the boundaries of abstract painting, collage, embroidery, mosaic, silk fibre drawing and photography to create cohesive but distinct works of art from a single inspiration/starting point. These techniques are used individually, and in combination, to create variations on a theme, all inspired by the prompt.

In our selected collaborative piece, a chosen photograph will be divided into six numbered sections - each artist interpreting an assigned section.  There will be freedom to create a piece, solely based on the photograph section with minimal group discussion. The interpretations will then be assembled by section, to hang as a whole. Each artists’ techniques will be merged on a single canvas or chosen support to create a continuous integration of styles. The decision to have no restrictions in sizes and spacing is deliberate, adding another element to the whole. The creative and technical elements contribute to its unique characteristics.

When working with a single artist’s challenge or prompt we allow for in-depth discussions of the prompt, progress reports and “show and tell” - over Zoom and at our annual Artscape Gibraltar Point artists residency. The creative outcomes over the last 3 years (soon to be 4 years) have reflected world thoughts and attitudes, personal feelings and escapes. And always with a nod to the artistic continuum.

    Catherine Gutsche

    I am preoccupied by the intuitive journey that paint takes me on with its colour and texture when working with layers that can be revealed through scratching back, rubbing away or lifting, to bring back the history of the previous layers.
