Solo Exhibition, “Observe + Repeat” May 3 - June 2, 2019

Bunker Projects, Pittsburgh

“Observe + Repeat is a collection of drawings and objects created by Pittsburgh artist and designer, Ali Karsh. Some functional, some sculptural, some representative and others abstract, the collection journals a repetitious practice of observational exercises. Vibrant toy-like colors and simple, recurring forms characterize her visual language; one, which is often more meditative and playful than it is intellectual. Ali uses simple compact mediums so that her drawing can travel easily and be made spontaneously, as she often finds inspiration while on the move.”

Observe + Repeat was the result of a studio visit with Bunker Projects co-founder, Jessie Rommelt. Jessie was so enthusiastic about the volume of work I had amassed in my Pittsburgh home that we quickly pulled together the idea for the show. This was the first time that I showed this much work publicly, and it was the first time I got to play with curating clusters and vignettes out of the chaos of color and shapes that make up my work.
