Darina Karpov "Infinitely Small Disasters"
Pierogi
This event has ended.
Using graphite, watercolor or acrylic on paper or panel, Karpov weaves disparate elements—rocks, tree stumps, abandoned machinery, torn fabric, ropes, a truck, and architectural elements—through a continuous series of inventions, each effecting the outcome of the next. Her intention is to create a narrative, though neither a clear nor a linear one. She is interested in an unreliable or a “fugitive” narrative.
This exhibition will include small and delicate watercolors on paper, large-scale works in bold graphite on paper, and paintings on panel. Karpov was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and now lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She received an MFA from Yale University and a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art. This is her second one-person exhibition at Pierogi.
