"Geoutopia," by Kim Carlino 2019

Kim describes herself as an interventionist, mining the space between painting and drawing. She explores the evolutionary nature of mark-making and relationships between color, geometry, line, and form. Her work playfully employs shifts of scale and illusion in hopes of finding balance and unity in disparate elements. Kim’s work is represented in several galleries, and she has done public murals across MA and New York City.

“I work with geometric abstraction and improvisation. I wanted to do something like this in Springfield because I wanted to bring a sense of color, vibrancy, and playfulness. This mural is one big riff on itself. I start from one place and then all the other elements develop in relation to the one before. When I have been painting, everybody wants to come up to me and talk to me about their experience with art and creativity, and that’s exactly what this mural is about. It's a celebration of imagination. And I think that's the power of an abstract mural - it can become different things to each person.” - Kim Carlino
