The White Series 2019 represents my inquiry into the nature of White. Their subject relies on the merging of the emotional memory of my homeland, Poland, with the life of the painting process itself. The final expression attempts to be a more universal, a more objective expression of our yearning for meaning and our desire to connect.
The White Series is an odyssey that begins in darkness, weaves its way through shadows and arrives at White. Darkness is primary, layering colors until they are saturated, heavy and opulent. Oftentimes it is hard to take that darkness away; here’s where one can rest, where it’s peaceful and full of possibility. Transitioning from darkness to shadows and then unfolding to White becomes an alchemical process, much like being a parent. One gives birth to an essence that has the opportunity to grow and become fully realized. Both painter and parent guide that essence, assisting, then letting go to allow a unique creation to exist as a singular entity.
When I arrive at White, it’s always tinted, shaded and molded by what came before it. Pure White does not exist in reality, just like pure light cannot be perceived by the naked eye. It needs some interaction, an interference to become visible and relatable. I imagine pure White would be blinding like a “milky fog on the ocean” without a point of reference, without direction, it’s indifference calmly veils memories and the past. White holds for me a sense of uncertainty for the future, it vacillates and won’t be pinned down, it leaves a trace of an intriguing mystery. Within White’s achromatic vibration, an observer is invited to layer a new vision.
Materials : powdered earth pigment, walnut oil, linen on wood stretchers.

Presentation
Artist Statement
"The abstract nature of my paintings is based in my desire to simplify what is perceivable, to leave only what is essential, believing that there is an archetypal ground where we all meet in our human experience."
At a young age, Gosha was compelled to leave her home country of Poland, then part of the Communist bloc, to live and paint in the United States, where freedom of expression was encouraged and respected. She graduated from Parsons School of Design in 1985 in New York City. Gosha exhibited at Hopper House in Nyack, Equity Gallery, The Painting Center, and Anthroposophical Society in NYC , Korekta Gallery in Warsaw Poland, Museum of Contemporary Art in Radom, Poland, amongst many. Gosha Karpowicz was a recipient of Margo - Gelb residency in Cape Cod in 2023. Her most recent group shows were at Lichtundfire Gallery in New York City and Pinkwater Gallery in Kingston NY. Her paintings can be found in private collections in the United States, Italy, Poland, Germany, and are in the permanent collection in The Museum of Contemporary Art Elekrownia in Poland.
Gosha grew up observing changes of light and color in the forests, meadows, sky and the sea in the land of Poland. Her father was a professor of agriculture and her mother was an art and art history teacher. Gosha first came to painting as a biologist, a scientist, observing nature. She was fascinated by growth and decay, life and death, wanting to understand when things began, how they changed, why they ended. She surrendered to books and microscopes in her teenage years, until one day in the meadows she was so moved by the cool reds and the warm reds that she felt compelled to paint. It was the only way she felt she could understand what was in front of her. The study of nature and later abstract expression, became the experiential science she was seeking.
