Karen Baumeister, Little Pink, 2012, 8 x 8 inches, acrylic on canvas
Karen Baumeister lives and works in Philadelphia. Her paintings are compact packages of color presence. Although some of her pieces are larger scale, it is the smallest paintings that seem to deliver the the most potent resonance -- achieving an exquisite balance of opacity and translucence, of surface incident and activation of surrounding space. They simultaneously absorb and radiate, creating charged and dynamic color space situations.
