Ep. 73 - Expressions of Gesture
Have you ever envisioned the symphony of colors that a melody might paint? EMMY award winning, internationally renowned artist, Karen Mosbacher, shares her world of chromesthesia. Music and hues intertwine, offering us a glimpse into how this phenomenon deeply influences her artwork. From her home in Colorado, Karen illustrates her process of translating the rhythms of a string quartet or the soulful tones of jazz into vibrant visual expressions on canvas. Her stories of collaborative projects, like painting to spoken poetry, reveal an intimate energy exchange that defines her growth as an artist and the captivating evolution of her body of work.
Art holds a mirror to our collective soul, and Karen's "Collateral Beauty; No More Silence" series is no exception; serving as a compelling narrative that resonates profoundly with its audience. "Before It Was Me" reveals where the depth of art's power truly unfolds—a personal reflection on intimate terrorism that transforms trauma into a shared space of healing through interactive installations. Our discussion traverses the landscape of emotion, from the cathartic release found in her work to the shared experiences of visitors who connect deeply with the stories her art tells.
Completing our journey through Karen's artistic world, we reflect upon the liberating embrace of art therapy and self-discovery. Karen eloquently articulates how creation offers a steadfast act of perseverance. She guides us through the importance of dismantling the negative narratives we carry, all the while hinting at exciting future
ventures and the unveiling of her latest visual language. For those seeking inspiration or understanding the profound impact of visual arts on personal transformation, Karen's insights serve as an open invitation to view life through a prismatic lens of self-expression and healing.
