Karah Lain creates paintings, drawings, and prints that question and complicate the ubiquitous, yet curious experience of living in a densely populated city, where trees and clouds mingle with concrete cracks and power lines. Through material, gesture, and color, Lain negotiates the rich tension between the natural and the artificial fueled by an impulse to connect to the material eccentricities that contextualize everyday life in the city.
