Asheville Gallery of Art’s latest show, “Earthlight,” will feature the work of Karen Keil Brown. The artist is known for her ethereal sky and mountain landscapes, and will be presenting new work in the show.
The exhibit will run through the month of May, and the public is invited to a reception from 5:30–8 p.m. on Friday, May 6.
“I’ve been influenced by my recent art workshops in New York City at the Art Students League,” says Karen. “I’m painting in a more geometric style, almost cityscapes, and using blocks of colors suggestive of the buildings in the city.”
In creating the new work, she says she’s using drips and color blocks to create a composition of fragmented contrasts. The new work retains her signature atmospheric approach to landscape, but takes on a more urban, edgier feel.
“I like to free up my imagination to provide unexpected opportunities for a more creative process. I often use a dash of red within the painting to represent my internal passion for each piece.”
Asheville Gallery of Art is located at 82 Patton Avenue across from Pritchard Park.
