About The Artwork
Part of the Diversion collection, this painting further explores directional pull. It is also a painting about painting… We find ourselves at a North London bus stop in high summer, on a very hot day when the light is bright and high. I was struck by the overabundance of signs ordering us to go one way, and the fact that the figure in the scene is completely ignoring them and looking the opposite way (for a bus that will be taking her in that direction anyway). Rendering other people's painted lettering (the signs and street art) without making this about words and text was an unexpected challenge.

United Kingdom
Karen’s work focuses primarily on capturing fleeting moments of beauty in everyday life, giving them permanence through the medium of paint: a landscape or building observed when no-one else is around, or the demeanour of a person absorbed in mundane activity. Process, colour and the quality of paint are her main drivers, and she has a fascination for the tension between darkness and light, flatness and texture, realism and abstraction. Starting from cropped images, oil pastel studies and abundant colour research, she favours acrylic paint, using a wide range of brush marks and textures. She occasionally incorporates other media such as collage or charcoal.
