San Diego, CA — Woodward Contemporary is proud to present "Subtle Elegance and Quiet Depth," a solo exhibition showcasing the evocative work of acclaimed artist Cathrine Edlinger-Kunze. Opening on June 7, this exhibition invites viewers to step into an intimate world of movement, memory, and emotion. Focusing primarily on the human form, Edlinger-Kunze captures the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability through her powerful depictions of figures, dancers, and performers. Her compositions are rich with human expression, blending gesture and emotion into works that resonate long after the viewer walks away. "Cathrine's work simmers with brilliance. There’s a quiet intensity that invites reflection — a beauty that unfolds with time," says Gigi Woodward, Owner and Curator of Woodward Contemporary. Visitors will experience a collection that is as graceful as it is grounded — paintings that don’t shout, but whisper, linger, and stay.
