To get ready for the Arthouse Show “100 things for about $100” I created a new series of paintings. From the show there were lots of discussions and excitement from my work. Each painting is suspended between two plates of glass, so they take on what ever colour your walls are.
They float and are a bit transparent in some areas. Here are some samples.
Nice new work, Karen. I really like your presentation of floating them in the glass. It picks up on the fluidity of the paint, and even when the colours are more about fire, gives some contrast for me with water and fire. I think it works well with the scale of these pieces. What mechanism do you have for hanging them? Without having seen them for real, I like the first two you have posted best, ‘Compressed Fire’ and ‘Containing Lines’. When is the show?
Thanks Jodie…
These pieces are currently framed with small black frames with the two panes of glass. I do have some pictures of them with the frame that I could add to the post just to give a visual. Today I just started two larger ones in hopes that they can sit and dry over the Christmas Holiday. The Show that the other pieces are in finished yesterday (just a two-day show). I know one of them had sold, but I will know the final sales tomorrow when I go to get the remaining paintings.
