International Artist Cat Tesla Will Exhibit at the St.

Armand’s Circle Fine Art

Show

Sarasota, FL, April 06, 2021 --(PR.com)-- This exhibit will feature Tesla’s Meditation & Chrysalis
Series of Paintings.

On View: April 10-11, 2021, 10am-5pm each day.

On April 10 & 11, 2021, Cat Tesla will premiere her latest paintings from her two series: the Meditation
Series of dreamy, atmospheric water scapes and the Chrysalis Series, an abstraction of nature. Tesla has
completed over 20 brand new paintings specifically for this show. All paintings will be available for sale
for the first time.

The St. Armand’s Circle Fine Art Show is in its eighteenth year and will showcase the work of over 200
artists. Tesla is one of a few international artists, whose work is represented by galleries in the U.S. and
U.K.

Tesla’s Meditation Series is done using 8-10 thin layers of acrylic and oil glazes on canvas. “I don’t work
from reference photos,” says Cat. “Instead, I prefer to work from my memory of being in the landscape.”

“Sky, water, meadows, gardens, falling leaves, waterfalls - for my Chrysalis Series I garner inspiration
from all of it,” says Tesla. “I use acrylic, oil, inks, graphite, wax crayon, oil pastel, & oil glazes. My
process is inspired by the work and teachings of Franz Kline's concept of automatism. He essentially
believed in first ‘pouring out,’ then editing. I begin with an automatic drawing in graphite and wax
crayon, then translucent layers are applied, followed by more mark making (drawing) & more paint
layers. The resulting smaller paintings are windows looking outward, while the larger paintings are
abstract nature-scapes you can walk right into.”

Admission to the St Armand’s Circle Fine Art Show is free. It is a socially distanced event; masks are
required for entry.
