PLATO

Plato is excited to present Karen Seapker's first solo exhibition with the gallery, Stirring. Based on Seapker’s observation of the garden outside her studio and her reflections on the current historical moment, Stirring is dedicated to winter as a time to heal, reset and plan. 

The paintings in Stirring are infused with swirls of vibrant yet soothing colors derived from nature's own wintery palette: the misty blue of a frozen lake, the pinks and violets of cool, velvety sunsets, the milky grey of a cold starry night, the comforting amber of a lantern glowing in the dark, the lime green of freshly brewed herbal tisane. Winter, both as a literal and a metaphorical season, is not a still, unproductive time. Rather, it is full of movement and quiet realignment. Dried seeds are dispersed to plant new growth, underground networks are expanded and gardening plans for spring are nurtured.
