Karin Davie’s new works in It Comes In Waves use striped, anthropomorphic contours to record motion, time, and bodily gesture. Large-scale strokes in vivid colors evoke muscle, landscape, and energy, while cutouts and drips interrupt rhythm, merging anatomy and topography. Her paintings trace the interplay of presence and absence, process and image, creating dynamic spaces that bridge the physical and metaphysical, reinvigorating abstract painting.
