Artist Statement: An interdisciplinary artist, Kim Carlino uses abstraction as a structure to explore and attempt to resolve compositional tension caused through juxtaposition of such disparate elements as fluid and structure, nature and manmade, chaos and order, masculine and feminine, and time and void. She brings a collagist’s sensibility to her work, exploiting relationships and edges between forms by building up flattened planes of optical and linear patterning with constantly evolving color relationships as a way to illuminate themes of the interconnectedness of nature, harmony and a sense of play.
Medium type: Paint (acrylic, oil, etc.); Spray Paint/Graffiti Art
