About The Artwork

A new series of works titled Flourish - This work is framed in a light shade of Oak with a snug fit In response to recent times, where the artist faced an unease due to restrictions on her creativity during various limitations placed on normal life. The normal processes in her studio were set aside, and she focused and indeed obsessed on all the details in objects around her studio. One focus drew her in, that was the tiny aspects making up the Protea and Banksia flowers that were normally the subjects of her painting. These details served to distract the artist from everything else. The work begins with layers of colour, in the form of an abstract landscape, these layers went down in a chaotic way. such free abandonment, and lack of conformity, in a place that was safe. This is the antithesis of the next layer, the brush strokes act as a veneer over the canvas in an effort to make sense of it all and thus, draw it all back to some semblance of order, and conformity. The inspiration began with my passion for Impressionism, the colours in this work are a nod to Degas. Mark making in the final layer is organic and based on the brushes used. This juxtaposition results in a mesmerizing composition, which in an unintended consequence has a therapeutic outcome for the artist and it is hoped the viewer. This is an emotive response to current circumstances I am therefore fully invested in the final outcome. This work is on a professionally custom made gallery stretched canvas fully frame in a light oak which compliments the colours in the artwork, the price reflects these more expensive materials, and the cost of specialised packaging.

Having lived in the UK, South Africa, and now in Australia, preserving elements of her life and experiences is paramount in her work. Compositionally diverse artist she often seeks to capture a symbolism in her work, drawing on her experiences living in these very different countries. Calling on the connection she has with South Africa and Australia, Karen Goddard’s abstracts and floral artworks are deeply influenced by the botanicals and environmental facets familiar to both. Her still life depictions encapsulate the innate shapes and exuberance of her organic subjects, while her mark making abstractions embody their unique and specific colourations. Previously living through times of national turmoil and transformation, her works persistently focus on the beauty of her natural surroundings, and deliver an emotive and meditative quality that arouses captivation and peace. Favouring an impressionistic creative approach, Karen alternates between oils and acrylics in order to produce diverse compositional elements, imagery and texturizations. She typically begins by depositing a ground colour onto the canvas, which habitually determines the ethos of the work. Layering the complimentary colours in stages, which are individually mixed through a meticulously process, each of the darker shades are typically set down first, while lighter colours are introduced later. A pattern of short and repetitive brushstrokes are utilised in the creation of her abstracts, which produces an overlay over the existing colour work, and instigates the qualities of movement and flow.
