My name is Karen Mosbacher and I paint music. Every touch of brush to paint and then to canvas involves gesture. Gesture is the purest form of expression, feeling, and communication. Gesture is the most important tool in my work as an artist. Gestures of our bodies express or emphasize an idea, sentiment, or attitude, and allows us to communicate without words. Alchemy is a way of transforming one thing into another for the purpose of creating and extending life. The conversion of one element into another is a significant part of alchemy. Every stroke of paint has alchemy, and a reason it has been used. This body of work is a collection of music for unaccompanied viola, composed and played by some of my favorite contemporary musical artists.
