Karen Knight Artist’s Statement
Karen is an expressionist artist whose current works celebrates her freedom to
now paint fulltime.
Her abstract paintings reflect her interests in a wide range of ideas, including
biology, prehistory and environmentalism in the broadest possible sense.
Her paintings explore a wide range of ideas, starting with a process of mark-
making and layering of transparent and opaque colours, where she lets the
subject matter evolve in an organic way.
Many of her paintings involve recognising shapes of people, faces, animals or
things.
Karen almost never works from photographic reference, preferring to refer to
her many sketchbooks from drawing from real life, to express memories or
feelings in an unpredictable abstract process.
