Katie Watson

Colour up in Abstract, 2021

Photography and digital drawing

“Colour Up in Abstract” combines digitally produced K-Pop fan art and inspirations from fashion photography to comment on both the artificiality of South Korea’s ‘picture perfect’ music industry and the notion of guilty pleasures. The work draws on the artist’s shame surrounding her art, providing an insight into a journey of acceptance alongside an exploration of the ‘artificial’. 

Katie Watson is a multidisciplinary artist whose passion lies within digital art processes and traditional painting, with her work often manifesting itself through portraiture and an exploration of the human form/mind, though most prominently through fanart. Previous artworks have also adopted fashion photography to criticise elements of human nature through satirical narratives.
