About the Item

This contemporary abstract painting by Karin Olah, titled Chambray Surf 8, is a striking seascape collage created with acrylic and hand-dyed textiles on paper. Waves of indigo, cobalt, and chambray blues are layered with textured fabric pieces—including striped elements reminiscent of shirting—giving the piece a tactile, rhythmic quality. The composition features a dramatic sky over a distant headland and shimmering water, all framed in a soft, golden wood frame with a white mat. The painting (paper size approx. 10 x 8 inches, framed size 17 x 13 x 1.5 inches) is signed by the artist and ready to hang. Artist Statement: Fabric is something that evokes an emotional response. Soft materials can make us feel calm, relaxed, cozy, and safe. I use textiles in my paintings to suggest a connection between the beautiful places in nature and the comforting touch of a well-loved quilt. Inspiration for my subject matter comes from cloud watching at the beach, the stripes of ocean waves on the horizon, a patchwork of farm fields, the meandering thread of a creek through the marsh, and quiet time at the lake. My interpretations of landscapes focus on color and mood more than realism. In these dreamscapes, the brushstrokes are fabric. Bio: Karin Olah combines her background in fashion design, a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, and an ever-growing collection of textiles to create mixed-media works that celebrate texture, place, and memory. Originally from Lancaster County, PA, and now based in Charleston, SC, she has been featured in Southern Living, Charleston Magazine, and House & Garden. Her work is held in numerous public and private collections including Mayo Clinic Florida, JW Marriott, and the Medical University of South Carolina.
