Paintings by artist Karen Ösp Pálsdóttir. Pálsdóttir received her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2013. Her most recent monochromatic works explore various subjects through a Cobalt Blue lens. Inspired by the delicate interplay of elasticity and depth, each composition becomes part of a larger exploration of temporality and impermanence:

“This ‘modern, Improved Blue’ becomes a tactile experience in monochromatic simplicity and invites the viewer to peer through a singular lens, akin to an optical filter. The Blue Star Fern, a reoccurring collaborator, often emerges as a fusion of transparency and distortion. It stands as a quiet observer of the evolving lucidity of the human condition and the dance between what is and what might be.”
