Katy Moran is a British contemporary painter celebrated for her dynamic and abstract works that blend spontaneity with emotional depth. Her paintings, often executed on canvas or board, are characterized by sweeping gestures, fragmented shapes, and textured surfaces that invite open-ended interpretations. 

Moran’s process combines intuition and experimentation, often beginning with found imagery, which she obscures and transforms until it becomes a new composition. She strikes a delicate balance between abstraction and figuration, teasing out subtle forms that hint at landscapes, figures, or fleeting memories. Moran’s influences range from the expressive freedom of Abstract Expressionism to the techniques of Old Masters, which she reimagines with a fresh, contemporary sensibility. 

By stripping her works of obvious narratives, she challenges viewers to engage in the act of seeing and imagining. Moran’s paintings have earned her international acclaim, with exhibitions at prestigious institutions like the Tate St Ives and the Parasol Unit in London.
