This is part of a series of 5, all based on the same light pattern falling and refracting onto a wall. I titled them Green Error Complex to reference the obsessive perfectionism that often comes through in my work, which also relates to modern society in general.

Originally from Dallas, Texas, and currently based in London, Katherine Lubar obtained a Post-Graduate Diploma from City & Guilds of London Art School. Lubar has work in the permanent collection of The Museum of Geometric and MADI Art in the US and the Department for Education and Employment in the UK. She was a finalist for the Evening Standard Contemporary Painting Prize in 2017, was shortlisted for the Wells Art Contemporary in 2018, 2019 and 2021 and in 2020 for the Hastings Contemporary. In 2020 she received a grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. Lubar’s work is influenced by both living in England and growing up in Texas. The strong light that is present in her paintings and the human-made structures it falls upon is a direct response to growing up in Dallas, with its almost blinding light, exaggerated by the modern buildings and their corresponding shadows with their straight lines and flat expansive structures. Other important aspects of her work include the interplay between negative and positive space, a concurrence of flatness and depth, as well as investigations into the relationships between colours.
