Our Love Stories by Kathe Fraga

# Our Love Stories

Kathe Fraga's mixed-media composition layers abstraction and figuration across canvas, creating a surface rich with textural incident. Gestural marks in paint converge with collaged elements, establishing a visual conversation between the spontaneous and the composed. The work operates through accumulation—successive applications build density and depth, obscuring and revealing form in equal measure. Color fields shift between warm and cool tones, while the materiality of the work remains visibly present: drips, scratches, and overlapping planes assert the object's physical reality. Rather than depicting narrative directly, *Our Love Stories* suggests intimacy through formal means, allowing the viewer to locate meaning within its constructed surfaces.
