Karen Grimstead, Contemporary Artist
Welcome
Flying is integral to the life I lead, and as an abstract artist, it strongly influences the way I view the world and in particular, observe the contrasting landscapes of Australia, England and France. My aerial photographs display cartographic patterns, shapes, lines and contours which I later use as a starting point in my abstract paintings. I have studios in Perth, Western Australia and Petworth, England, from which I regularly exhibit in Art Fairs and Art Exhibitions.
Abstraction allows me to explore atmosphere over accuracy; evoking the emotion of a moment rather than recording it factually. My work sits between structure and disruption, giving it a tension between dynamic energy and calm stillness so the painting is visually alive.
The compositions and colour palettes are a visceral response to my moods, feelings and sensory perception of our light aircraft’s altitude; flight time of day; the season and the expansive landscape.
My paintings are reflective journeys through distant landscapes, both spiritual and geographical.
