Karen Lamassonne

Karen Lamassonne was born in 1954 in New York, USA
She currently lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia, USA
The Colombian painter and video artist was born in New York in 1954 and raised in a multi-cultural and multi-lingual environment, Lamassonne has lived and worked in the United States, Colombia, France, Germany and Italy.  Her work is always autoreferential; a response to her environment and emotions in which eroticism is a silent participant.

During the 1980’s she lived in Cali, a defining period for her career, where she bonded with the dynamic group of artists and filmmakers known as the “Grupo de Cali”.  During this period, she combined her cinematographic experience to create works in video and photography. At the same time, she complemented her painting with Art Direction, Costume Design, Editing and Acting in different national and international productions. Her experience and drive have led to a multifaceted creative output across the disciplines of fine arts, design, video, film, installations, theater and music.
