This Karen Elzinga painting, maybe be slim in height but is wide enough to make an impact, hung floor to ceiling it makes an impact in a small wall panel or hung length ways it maintains a subtle impact with tempered bite.
The work itself is full of dimension and texture, not one part of this work is without dimension, think bubbles upon bubble but with a smooth finish, you just want to touch and touch it.
The idea or inspiration came about from Karen extensive career in material investigation, through exploration Karen discovered a material that she could manipulate, stretch, and tease whilst also allowing it to have a mind of its own. This is the perfect size painting to showcase this process allowing this work to become a life within itself. It is so unusual and photo's can never do it justice.
Karen has a Bachelor degree in Fine Art and Visual Culture from Curtin University and has had over 25years expereince as an artist.
