With Harmony, artist Kim Rose explores the profound beauty that can arise from duality, inversion, and emotional reclamation. A two-part work composed of a painting and a sculptural form, Harmony is a meditation on contrast—not as opposition, but as complement. Together, the pieces speak in quiet unison about the complexities of brokenness, restoration, and the quiet elegance found in imbalance made whole.

The sculpture, a modern reimagining of Venus, was created first—its surface divided: white on the left, black on the right. It stands as a symbol of contrast held in tension, both fractured and complete. From this form, Rose created a companion painting, a precise visual inverse—black on the left, white on the right—mirroring the figure’s composition but on canvas. Though each work can exist independently, their dialogue is most powerful when experienced together. It is in their relationship that the full meaning of Harmony unfolds.

The set draws inspiration from Patrick Phillips’ poem Piano, in which a broken instrument—discarded and weathered—is transformed not by repair, but by presence. “Touching me,” the poem reads, “you are the good / breeze blowing across its rusted strings.” Rose channels this emotional resonance into her work, crafting pieces that do not shy away from fracture or imperfection, but instead illuminate the quiet, redemptive power of connection.

Harmony does not offer resolution in the traditional sense. Rather, it celebrates what emerges when opposites are held side by side—light and dark, sculpture and canvas, brokenness and beauty. In doing so, Rose creates a visual and conceptual duet: singular voices that, when placed together, sing.
