Karen Walters - 2023
Karen is always looking for the abstract limit, asking the viewer to search for the painting and feel the energy. When Karen’s atmospheric landscapes are presented, they are often done so with a limited palette, so that colours harmonise. Big brush marks with lights and darks from dawn and dusk are in order. Nature gives way to movement.
Working in a humble studio with a garden overlook, no painting is allowed to leave until each mark has broken free of realism. Some do not make it.
