A K DOLVEN’s practice involves a variety of media; painting, photography, performance, installation, film and sound. The paintings are highly physical, in a direct relationship with the artist’s own body and its movements. The photographs and videos are directed and recorded performances. Recurring themes in her works are the representation of natural forces and their resonance with human sensibilities. Dolven’s work alternates between the monumental and the minimal, the universal and the intimate. Interpersonal relations and interactions are central to her practice, and many of her performance-based works involve collaborations with other people.
