Hauntingly Beautiful New Works by Kari-Lise

Garden Ghost


Fine Artist Kari-Lise is a painter I find joy in following online, and knew when I saw her in-process work of Garden Ghost on Instagram @karilise that this was a piece for sharing.
Traditional techniques and practices underpin her contemporary, slightly surreal compositions. The delicate ghostly flourishes, seen above here in "Garden Ghost" are a nod to traditional Norwegian Rosemaling folk art, but overlaid in a way that might remind us of opaque digital painting design and layering.

Something about the combination of Kari-Lise's rich definition of her figures and strong colour choices, while still achieving a very airy or ethereal sense of atmospheric weightlessness, makes her pieces stand out to me.
 
Kari-Lise will be participating in some upcoming shows to keep an eye out for; "PoP Femme" for Pop Gallery in Santa Fe May 3rd, as well as closer to home in "Tentacle Show" at Ltd. Gallery in Seattle for May 4th.
