Collage artist Catherine Mikton’s practice falls within the realm of geometric abstraction. Using paper and glue, she creates compositions based on deconstruction and reconstruction. Inspired by British artist Bridget Riley, her work explores shapes—particularly triangles—color, rhythm, and movement, in a quest for balance and visual harmony.

Born in Geneva to a Swiss mother and an American father, she grew up in Terre Sainte, near Nyon. After earning a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s degree in gender and social policy in England, she worked in Switzerland in the humanitarian and publishing sectors.

After devoting several years to raising her children, she developed her artistic practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was in a studio in Rolle that she discovered collage, which has since become her primary medium. In 2023, she earned a certificate in the modern and contemporary art market from IFAGE in Geneva. Since August 2024, she has been sharing a studio in Nyon’s old town with a ceramicist, where she continues her exploration of abstract collage.

The series presented here, titled “180 Degrees,” refers to the sum of the angles in a triangle. Through a variety of formats, it explores this visual language to further its examination of form, color, and perception.
