In “Licorice Memory,” Bijou Karman’s new body of work welcomes us into her scene – a daringly colorful and women-dominated universe consisting of femme fatales, heavy embellishment, and bold glamour above all else. Building on an enduring practice centered on the foundations of style, these paintings go beyond the standard appeal of record collecting – giving access not only to Karman’s taste in music but more importantly a window on her encyclopedic knowledge of the revolutions, design movements, and cultural touchstones of the 1960s and 1970s.
