About The Artwork

This work is part of a small collection of paintings called 'Diversion', rooted in North London where I live and work. It is a playful exploration of the pull between opposing directions; here I expanded the theme to include misdirection through mirrors, and placed myself in the image. This painting features a typically-London underground station platform; you can see the train arriving in the old-style circular mirror. I used acrylic on linen canvas, which I stretched myself. It is designed to be displayed unframed, and comes equipped with d-rings for hanging.

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.
