Materials included
Catie Dillon is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York. She makes large-scale abstract paintings about movement, the body, and interconnectedness. Through a process of layering and scraping away paint, Dillon discovers and uncovers spiraling lines. These sweeping gestures, made with a brush and a squeegee, often reference forms and networks found within the natural world.
Dillon was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, received her BFA from Penn State University, and her MFA from Hunter College. Her work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions at the McDonough Museum of Art in Youngstown, Ohio and Woskob Family Gallery in State College, PA. Dillon has also been featured in recent group exhibitions at Zepster Gallery (NYC), GG and POP Institute (NYC), Thierry Goldberg Gallery (NYC), Deanna Evans Projects (NYC), ChaShaMa (NYC), Tanya Weddemire Gallery (NYC), Georgetown College (KY) and elsewhere. She has been an artist-in-residence at Open Wabi Residency in Fredericktown, Ohio, Fish Factory Residency in Stodvarfjordur, Iceland, PADA Studios in Barreiro, Portugal, Wassaic Project in Wassaic, New York, ProjectArt Residency in Brooklyn, New York, and Art on the Block in New York, New York.
