Gosha Karpowicz’s paintings are contemplations on Facticity and Ambiguity.

Her work is an invitation to pause and form new encounters.
In a world where stillness is rare, her work relies on moments of quietude. Karpowicz paints in subtle layers, creating color planes, waiting for them to dry before the next veil is applied.
Arising color fields illuminate spaces between them. This is an attentive and time-consuming process. Colors as life, appear and disappear, continuously transforming from within.

Transcendence and the ephemeral quality of the image itself reminds us of the subtle beauty of impermanence in our lives, a respectful acknowledgment of the wisdom of the unknown. These insights remain free and un-fixed, always changing in the savoring of the nuances.

Materials: powdered pigment and oil on linen, on wood stretcher. framing is optional.

United States  • 1960

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.
