P •P •O •W is pleased to announce Light + Heavy, Karen Arm’s sixth solo exhibition with the gallery. For over two decades, Arm’s work has engaged a dialogue between micro and macro, mark and object, structure and line. The obsessive virtuosity displayed in her paintings creates infinite spaces which focus on surface and depth. Through this balance of chaos and order, earthly and astral, Arm creates portals into the sublime. Her meticulous process of layering and glazing is essential in creating the dynamism in these meditative works. The accumulation of dots and lines that Arm makes is spontaneous, creating a certain randomness within her obsessive process.
