DISSOLVING THOUGHTS:

PAINTINGS BY KAREN INGLEHART

 MARCH 5 - 28
SPLIT LEVEL GALLERY: MEZZANINE LEVEL



the space where thoughts arise and dissolve and float in the back of our awareness







DISSOLVING THOUGHTS derives from the Buddhist practice of letting thoughts go. “Thoughts are always emerging…sometimes predictable and sometimes random and surprising. This body of work seeks to represent the space where thoughts arise and dissolve and float around in the back of our awareness”.

This series of work has been evolving for the past 3-4 years and comes from her practice of Buddhism of many years. 

Karen works in layers, with a process of painting then subtracting from previous layers, so that a “memory” of previous paint appears. It creates a quality of mystery that relates to how thoughts arise and dissolve.


KAREN INGLEHART has been painting full time since 2001. She is a member of GalleryA3 in Amherst and is also represented by Jessica Hagen Fine Art, Newport, RI. Lauren Clark Fine Art, Great Barrington, MA, Meridian Art Consulting, Boston, and Winston Scott Gallery on Artsy.
