Katie Bell

Katie Bell’s three-dimensional assemblages, made of construction and home-building materials, refuse stability—literally so. As the artist attempts to secure and fasten all the elements together, it is a sense of irony that best binds the parts. Bell’s assemblage work relishes its awkward spot between sculpture and painting.


She has had solo shows at Backspace in Peoria, IL (2012); Okay Mountain Gallery in Austin, Texas (2012); and the BOX Gallery in Galesburg, IL (2009). Bell has also been featured in group shows at venues including Parallel Art Space (2013); 722 Metropolitan in Brooklyn, NY (2012); and Mixed Greens in New York, NY (2011), among many others.
