About Kim's Artwork: In her interior still life paintings Alemian is interested in the way light streams into an interior space, transforming it and the objects it hits for a fleeting moment. The sunstream magically transforms whatever is in its path and makes it exceptional. These liminal spaces are both real and remembered. They also act as a vehicle for applying paint. Her paintings are built up in layers of oil paint and charcoal lines, pastel and wax markers. Surfaces are scraped, turned and reworked. Through this process, they reveal a history of the workings, as in a palimpsest.

About Kim: Kim Alemian was born in Spokane, Washington, and lived in Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Germany. She received her BFA at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 1988 and her MFA from the College of Fine Art, School of Visual Arts, Boston University in 1991. She also studied at the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture. She currently lives in the Boston area. Alemian focuses on two distinctly different bodies of work. Interior Still Lifes and Exterior Ocean paintings. Her Interior Still Life oil paintings about light are constructed primarily from observed interiors. The Ocean Series is based on gathering data of her swims, which she records in small watercolor notebooks making a watercolor wash of the colors and conditions of the day over them. She creates oil paintings, embedding the data within the paintings and includes fellow swimmer figures. She has shown her work nationally and internationally. Alemian is represented by the Edgewater Gallery, Cove Gallery and Gardner Colby Gallery. She has acted as President of The National Association of Women in the Arts—Massachusetts Chapter and is currently an active Artist member of NAWA NY & MA. She has curated and produced catalogs for notable exhibitions.
