CAN'T TRACE TIME

art exhibition with work by Andrzej Karwacki & Michele King

Exhibition Dates: October 7th to October 31st.
Artist Reception: Thursday, October 14th from 6-8 p.m.

Andrzej Karwacki and Michele King come together in this collaborative exhibition exploring the balance between manmade and natural environments. They bring these sensitivities into their work offering the viewers a space between moments, outside materiality … their work offers the viewer equanimity.

MICHELE KING; HER PROCESS . . .

King uses water-soluble paints and inks on wood panels, including shimmering and translucent washes of pigment. She builds up and subtracts materials to bring light through thick and thin layers. King's aim is to create a sense of space and movement, to connect with an ethereal world. King's new series, “Milk & Honey,” consists of paintings in which she explores idea of surrounding internal and external space, particularly as experienced through the senses. King finds intensity residing in multiple impermanent worlds—deep inner realms, spheres of daily life, the vast cosmos with constant transience between these spaces. She is interested in uncovering the sublime moments within this journey between glittering and shadowy spaces.

ANDRZEJ KARWACKI; HIS PROCESS . . .

In painting, Karwacki creates works where the piece expresses immeasurable moods suggested through use of color and composition. His painting technique is similar to the process of weathering, where wood panel, paint and water meet and dissolve into each other imitating the wearing of nature and it’s material. Thin layers of paint and water wash over each other and meet in its liquid form thereby creating their own magical chemistry. Unlike the process of painting where artists use complementary colors opposite to each other, such as green and red, orange and blue, black and white…Karwacki finds not the individual separateness of colors that makes up the final master piece but the merging and integration of each into another.
