Charis Carmichael Braun
"Study: Pink Boulder And The Valley, " Gouache on paper painting

2018

About the Item

Charis Carmichael Braun’s gouache on paper painting “Study: Pink Boulder And The Valley" depicts a Colorado valley with a rock formation in the foreground, a forested hill in the middle ground, and mountains with a partly cloudy sky in the background. Artist Statement: I am drawn to contrasts. I grew up within a worldview which emphasized moral absolutes while also extolling liberal "free-thinking." In my work, I sift through desire, fear, and faith to combine concepts I feel are paradoxical: attraction & repulsion, ideal & flawed, terrifying & comforting, repressed & exalted. Spirited color and active brushwork weave these contrasting ideas across each other to build up a kind of unstable middle ground on the canvas. Binding my subject matter to intimate sources - primarily my husband, my family, myself - I apply multiple layers of oil paint through anxious compulsion. With each approach to the canvas I negotiate descriptive applications of paint. Embodying tension throughout the image, passages of acute focus contrast with less-developed space. Researching, redrawing, repainting, I obsessively return to the human form, finding satisfaction when I paint flesh explicitly.
