Needham Artist Featured in N. Reading Art Gallery Grand Opening

Karen M. Krieger’s atmospheric Asian inspired landscape paintings are featured as part of Inner Space Fine Arts’ grand opening on June 12 from 1-7 pm. The new art gallery is located at 189 Main Street, North Reading, MA (https://www.innerspace-fineart.com/).

Krieger’s paintings examine the complex interplay between the atmosphere and the landscape. She is inspired by the ancient Chinese tradition of portraying the personal experience of viewing a mountain, rather than by conveying a literal representational of it. She aims to convey the great depth of a mountain range and invites the viewer to bring their own connection to the inherent flow, patterns, and natural spirit of a painting by subtly hinting at misty heights. In harmonizing intentional brush strokes with a serendipitous movement of ink or pigment, Krieger works toward preserving the natural ebb and flow of both painted and empty spaces on the paper or canvas surface. Each painting, whether small or large, captures the emotion of a grand landscape.

With an intuitive rather than a typical structured approach to painting, Krieger has found a way to merge contemporary ink painting with a mix of her own custom made paints, pigments, and mixed media techniques.

Krieger works from her studio at Gorse Mill Studios in Needham, MA, and draws inspiration from traditional Chinese poetry and philosophy, as well as the world around her.
