Karen Silve
Passages (4 Panels Polyptych)

2025

About the Item

This four-panel polyptych explores a sense of continuity through layered brushwork and color transitions. While each canvas stands on its own, together they form a cohesive visual field where movement and fragmentation coexist. The composition invites the viewer to engage with the work both as a whole and through the individual rhythms of each panel. Nature is a constant source of inspiration for the artist, whether driving through the South of France, hiking in the Pacific Northwest, or meditating while observing the surface of a river. Sometimes, their work emerges directly from interaction with and response to nature; other times, it reflects an internal search for resolution. Emotion is at the core of their practice. Rather than depicting specific natural scenes, the artist draws on natural elements. A single painting might combine colors and marks inspired by both hiking in the Pacific Northwest and swimming in the Mediterranean Sea. These are not representations of real or imagined spaces, but rather emotional expressions shaped by multiple environments. Some works span across multiple canvases, forming visual narratives or dialogues. The narrative pieces trace emotional journeys, while the dialog paintings explore harmony through contrast—bridging differences through color and mark-making. Painting, for the artist, is a process of clarity and self-expression. Rooted in honesty, their practice is intuitive and visceral, allowing the subconscious to surface and speak through the work.
