Katie Ohe
Résumé
Katie Ohe, (born Katherine Dorothea Minna von der Ohe 1937, near Peers, Alberta) is a Canadian sculptor living in Calgary, Alberta. Ohe is known as one of the first artists to make abstract sculpture in Alberta, and has been influential as a teacher at the Alberta College of Art and Design. She is best known for her abstract and kinetic sculptures.
She began her studies at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary (then the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art) 1954 to 1957 under the guidance of pioneer modernist artist Marion Nicoll.
Other influential instructors were Illingworth Kerr, Stan Blodgett, Ken Sturdy and ceramist Luke Lindoe. Lindoe invited her to work at Ceramics Arts in the summer of 1957, where she worked alongside Walter Dexter, Walt Drohan, Luke Lindoe and Pat Banks (Drohan). She was awarded a National Gallery Study Award to study child art education with Arthur Lismer at the Montreal School of Art and Design, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts 1957 to 1958. While in Montreal, she was impressed by an exhibition of the planar work of Anne Kahane. On her return to Calgary, she rented a property in the grounds of the famous Hart family house and taught in the child art program modeled on that of Lismer at the Coste House, Calgary, where Archie Key was Managing Director. She returned to the Art Department of the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art (now the Alberta College of Art and Design) to complete her fourth year and earn her diploma in 1960.
With a Green Shield Scholarship secured through the support of Marion Nicoll, and the recommendation of Archie Key, she went to New York City to pursue post-graduate studies for three years at the Sculpture Center where was director. While there, she worked alongside sculptor Sahl Swarz, who later invited her to Verona, Italy where she spent several summers working at the Bronze Foundry.
Ohe married artist Harry Kiyooka in 1968. In 2011, the couple founded the Kiyooka Ohe Art Centre in Calgary, to promote contemporary art.
