Pop Art Gallery and Framing is celebrating its Main Street grand opening in Placerville this weekend.
The gallery’s first art exhibit will feature beloved Calaveras County artist Cate Culver showing “Abstracts.”
“As an abstract artist color fascinates me. I feel it resonating in my body while mixing colors. When people encounter my paintings for the first time it usually is my use of color that attracts and holds them” Cate said.
“My work is frequently described as bold and vivid, yet it always begins with the simplest of line drawings. I enjoy composition and usually am motivated by a sparse design to work from before painting. These designs seem to flow out of me with an intention of their own. I intuitively know when a composition ‘works,’ she said.
“I love the smell of paint and the tactile act of putting paint on the canvas. It is often very sensual. My process is both intuitive and thoughtful. I feel empowered by color and intrigued with design,” Cate said.
Cate’s work has been exhibited in New York City, San Francisco, Indianapolis, Indiana and Scottsdale.
“Abstracts” will show for one month beginning on Saturday, March 19, with a reception at 2 p.m.
Pop Art is located in Placerville at 254 Main St. and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Find out more at
