Heck has been described as a ‘post-feminist’ because of her confrontational representation of the female body. Reminiscent of Rita Ackerman’s portraits of corrupted innocence and Franz West’s innuendo laden collages, Heck’s monumental sized paintings draw from both personal experience and popular culture, creating a heightened sense of drama or glamour from the everyday. Often depicting herself and people she knows, her works operate as theatres of fantasy projection, using the diversity of painting as a means to engage with the potential of imagination.

For the artist, Hitchcock also stands as symbol for the investigation into a reality where we are inevitably drawn, like it or not. The photographs are further worked with acrylic-markers and paint which add text to accompany the image and provide a pertinent message of sorts. The paintings, often in large format, are a compilation of classically painted human bodies and lines, flecks and texts, seemingly hurled upon the canvas. The spontaneity emerges in the confrontation between the overall composition with the perfectly painted bodies. Humour and Seriousness, and the translation of this body of ideas into an art of wholly masterful expression, is the foundation stone for the power emanating from Katie Heck’s work what to Do Next... know about Kati Heck Exhibitions or looking for his paintings please visit us on http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/kati_heck.htm View Kati Heck paintings, biography, solo exhibitions, group exhibitions and resource of Kati Heck artist.View art online at The Saatchi Gallery - London contemporary art gallery.
