About The Artwork

This painting is one of four in a mini series inspired by twin houses in North London. I regularly walk past them in the early hours of the day, and their similarities and differences inspired me to capture the feel of the place. Many such buildings are now gradually being destroyed to make way for blocks of flats. This one (unlike its sister) is rather neglected and usually surrounded by whatever wild seasonal flora grows in this part of town. I wanted to capture this ragged feel and the contrast between the sharp straight lines of the building and the sinuous curves of growing plants. The painting is made with acrylic paint, in places blended directly onto the canvas with a small amount of tinted charcoal. It has d-rings affixed to the back, so it is ready to hang. The image continues onto the sides of the canvas, so it can be hung unframed.

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.
