Karen Kosoglad - Repose and Reflection
In Repose and Reflection, Seattle-based artist Karen Kosoglad’s figurative paintings capture women during their introspective and reflective moments. Her expressive style, sometimes monochromatic, sometimes colorful, reveals her interest in what she describes as “the gestural moments in everyday life and the balance between weight, rhythm, shape and color.” Black contour lines highlight the curves and form of live models who pose in chairs, with the artist's dog, or occasionally outside in the landscape. She uses mirroring to increase narrative ambiguity in her works and introduce the idea of contemplation and memory with figures pictured alongside their reflections. Kosoglad embraces the significance of gesture as the infrastructure to her work, informed by working from life. Deconstruction and reconstruction is her process, always inspired by the search for rightness of the form.
