Artist Karla Black


I was browsing Andrea Rosen Gallery's website today and was delighted to see Karla Black's new show with Nate Lowman, on display now through mid-June. I was really into Black's work several years ago when I was creating tissue paper sculptures supported by thin wooden scaffoldings.


In her current exhibition, Black creates large and delicate color field sculptures of paper, glitter hairspray, glue, and chalk. I have always loved Karla Black because of her view on visual art and art production. For Black, she considers art a "product of a bodily, physical desire to make a mark--a need to just grab the world."
