Karen Arm's seventh solo exhibition, 'Night Birds,' highlights her continued exploration of nature's intangible aspects through an intricate process of layering and glazing. Over six years, she has created a body of work that blends earthly elements with celestial inspirations, as seen in compositions that depict the energetic rhythms of light, water, and bird navigation. The works act as visual portals, encouraging viewers to contemplate the often overlooked metaphysical connections present in daily experiences of the natural world, thus deepening our understanding of its fundamental energies.
Arm's work engages in dialogues between micro and macro, form and element, and light and space to heighten the intangible aspects of nature.
Through an obsessive virtuosity and a meticulous process of layering and glazing, Arm's canvases function as portals to the infinite sublime.
Arm's meditative compositions push and pull against their own visual gravity, creating an energetic rhythm that connects the viewer to the spirit of our earth's origins.
Works such as Untitled (Night Birds), 2025, distill an imagined seascape to its essential interconnected elements, showcasing the connection between light, waves, and birds.
