About The Artwork

The works in this series are inspired by the landscapes, ocean, fauna and flora of Australia. The tiny brush strokes evolved from the shapes of the small flowers that make up the banksia and protea flowers. The title references a state of mind that the artist seeks in order to cope with the current turmoil facing the world, it is an emotive work which has evolved through the confusion and frustration during the recent times. This work is an emotive response to the challenges ahead. The Artist explores the freedom to create using techniques available, the layering of paint over many months gave a solid ground on which to explore mark making techniques, defined by the size and shape of the brush. The artist usually utilises short square brushes to create blocks of colour and contrast when including mark making in her work, covering only parts of the canvas. Where as, this work features a multitude of repetitive marks consuming the entire canvas. The appearance of the marks are influenced by the tonal back ground and the strong contrasting orange orb. The marks are abstract and numerous most are similar and have a sense of conformity and organisation. This work is perfectly framed in a natural oak 2cm wide. The cost of the work includes the cost of custom packaging to ensure it arrives safely with the collector. packaging takes a few days, please be patient. Thanks for looking.

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.
