Kathy Rooney 
Surface Attention
10-26 September 2026
 

Thursday 10 September Private viewing 6-8pm

​

“Surface Attention is my first solo exhibition” writes Kathy, “I am excited to show both paintings and screenprints in the wonderful SU Gallery with its gentle natural light. The selected works reflect my practice which focuses on the interplay of colours and creating an active and hopefully intriguing surface which will attract the viewer’s attention.”
 
“Working on canvas or paper, I layer often vivid colours, work energetically with pigment on the surface – whether with brush, palette knife, card or hands and fingers. I frequently break out of conventional edges and boundaries, and explore the power of gesture.”  
 
A latecomer to art practice, Kathy has MA degrees in Fine Art and in Printmaking from Middlesex University, is a member of the Fankle Art Collective (www.fankle.art) and Running Jump Print Workshop (https://www.runningjumpprint.com/).

She has exhibited in London, Suffolk, Bristol, Luxembourg and Madrid. Her works are in private collections in London, Suffolk, the USA and Greece. Recent exhibitions include Britten Pears Summer Contemporary (Snape Maltings, Suffolk, 2024, 2025, 2026), FLOW (Fankle Art Collective, Brixton Library, June 2026).
