Exploring Abstraction
Palm Beach
January 31, 2025
Krista Harris's work reflects a lifelong curiosity about the world and the places that shape us. Her paintings capture fragments of culture, architecture, and natural landscapes, blending them into abstract compositions that evoke a sense of connection and mystery. Inspired by the unique elements of each location—its light, colors, textures, and traditions—her work explores themes of belonging and identity.
The process behind Harris’s work is as layered as her paintings. Extensive preparation, from researching and mixing pigments to experimenting with tools and techniques, lays the foundation for her dynamic approach. Risk and uncertainty are central to her method, allowing her to embrace unexpected directions and discoveries.
Harris’s paintings balance organic and architectural forms, vibrant textures, and intricate patterns, creating pieces that feel both deliberate and spontaneous. They serve as visual maps, inviting viewers to navigate their own interpretations and uncover the beauty in complexity.
