Description |
Karla Wozniak (Berkeley, California 1978; lives and works in Berkeley, California) Synchronous Fireflies, 2013 Oil on panel 48 x 55 inches Knoxville Museum of Art, 2015 gift of the artist Former UTK School of Art faculty member Karla Wozniak produces vibrant oil paintings and watercolors loosely based on roadside landscapes observed in her travels. These locations serve as points of departure into abstracted compositions in which landscape imagery-banded hills, clouded skies, sprawling vegetation-is compressed into jagged surface patterns defined by bold, colorful brushwork. Although her paintings often contain subtle references to commercial development, seasons, weather, and time of day, her larger interest is in the expressive use of intensified color, pattern, and texture. Synchronous Fireflies is based on a summer landscape setting near Knoxville. |
