Kimberlee C Alemian

Artist Statement: I am interested in the way light streams into an interior space, changing it and the objects it hits for a quick moment. The sunstream magically transforms whatever is in its path and makes it exceptional. These liminal spaces are both real and remembered. They also act as a vehicle for applying paint. My paintings are built up in layers of oil paint and charcoal lines. I may also apply pastel and wax markers or use cold wax as a primary medium. Surfaces are scraped, turned and reworked. Through this process, they reveal a history of the workings, as in a palimpsest. Alemian received her BFA at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 1988 and her MFA in painting from the School of Visual Arts, Boston University in 1991. She also studied at the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture.
