Statement

Pamela Keravuori is a visual artist living and working in Fairfax Station, VA. In her biomorphic abstract paintings, shapes sitting on the edge of recognition embrace and budge into each other, with minimal attention to logic and convention — a bodily shape wraps like a muscle, a gnarled form morphs into a torso. She explores the abstraction of desire as compulsion embedded in a world of tension, drama and conflict through her imagined and high-keyed compositions. While her paintings are visceral, physically carving out a performative space with weighted edges, their resonance is psychological and their read is slow, teasing and complex.
