Cate Inglis is a painter and urban explorer based in Scotland. Her practice is concerned with the layers and structures of the urban landscape. A key part of her process involves going on-site, to places she perhaps shouldn’t, to explore and record the transient nature of man-made structures and the relentless processes of change upon the built environment.
Known for her highly detailed oil paintings of urban subjects, she places an emphasis on draughtsmanship and textural detail. Constantly developing techniques to render the textures of brick, rust and peeling paint, her work takes her to industrial wastelands and derelict buildings, covered in graffiti and falling apart, as time and the elements overtake them.
Graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 1999, her work has received numerous prestigious awards. She exhibits regularly with respected galleries in the UK, Ireland and the USA, and shows her work at International art fairs.
Her paintings have been exhibited at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in London and the Royal Scottish Academy and can be found in both private and public collections.
She was awarded professional membership of the Society of Scottish Artists (SSA) in 2016
