Pushing the boundaries of watercolor, these works merge art, design and architecture which dissolve into varying levels of abstraction. The painting approach is as much a part of the work as the subject\u2014with marks, drips and splatters all becoming part of the final piece. The results are images that are bold yet beautiful, muscular yet elegant, suggestive and evocative.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-628 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.sju.edu\/gallery\/files\/2018\/09\/KenKarlic_Eiffel_watercolor_36x36_2018-297x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"297\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.sju.edu\/gallery\/files\/2018\/09\/KenKarlic_Eiffel_watercolor_36x36_2018-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/sites.sju.edu\/gallery\/files\/2018\/09\/KenKarlic_Eiffel_watercolor_36x36_2018-768x776.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.sju.edu\/gallery\/files\/2018\/09\/KenKarlic_Eiffel_watercolor_36x36_2018-1014x1024.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/sites.sju.edu\/gallery\/files\/2018\/09\/KenKarlic_Eiffel_watercolor_36x36_2018-446x450.jpg 446w, https:\/\/sites.sju.edu\/gallery\/files\/2018\/09\/KenKarlic_Eiffel_watercolor_36x36_2018.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Originally from Chicago,\u00a0Ken Karlic studied architecture, painting and\u00a0graphic design at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and received a BFA.
