An exhibition in Gallery I, July 26 – August 30, 2024

Artist Reception: Saturday July 27, 2pm-4pm

From July 26 to August 30, 2024, Sivarulrasa Gallery is pleased to present Carol Bajen-Gahm: Littoral Light, a solo exhibition of new works by Newfoundland-based artist Carol Bajen-Gahm. A littoral zone in general references a coast or shoreline, the meeting of land and water – an apt inspiration for an artist whose studio overlooks the north Atlantic ocean.

In this new body of work, the artist grounds her work using silt, sand, dirt, soaked grasses, seaweed, rusty metal, buried material and ashes. “Nature inspires me as I work with its raw power and fierce beauty to create an environment for my work,” she says. “The constant changes of light and weather that engulf me in my shoreside studio have always been a part of my paintings, but now I am inviting nature to physically join in the dance.”

Originally from Massachusetts, Carol Bajen-Gahm has an undergraduate degree in music with a minor in philosophy from Boston University, and a Master’s degree in jazz composition from the University of Massachusetts/Amherst. She has completed artist residencies at the Pouch Cove Foundation, Newfoundland, the Julia and David White Artist Colony in Ciudad Colón, Costa Rica and the Dorland Mountain Arts Colony in California. Her works have been exhibited in Canada, the United States, and Austria and are held in many private and corporate collections.

Artist Reception: Saturday July 27, 2pm-4pm. Artist Carol Bajen-Gahm will be in attendance.
