Katherine McMahon is an artist whose primary subject matter is portraiture. Formerly the Creative Director and photography/writing contributor at ARTnews, she is now based in East Hampton, New York. Her work often explores society’s relationship to imagery and portraiture through the channels of pop culture and social media. Her work ruminates on how these projections shape our understanding of the self and our interpretation of the outside world. She has shown with SITE: Brooklyn, Anna Kaplan Contemporary, and most recently mounted her paintings in the windows of the Silver Lining Diner in Southampton, NY.
