Karen Hansen
First Thing in the Morning, Abstract Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
An abstract representation of a woodland bursts with vibrant flowers, creating a joyous celebration of bold colors. Brilliant blues reminisce of a cool and refreshing spring morning. Subtle textures and color shifts form a rich and luminous surface. Its transparent and translucent layers exude radiance, mystery, and depth. Guided by intuition, the creative process involves improvisation, experimentation, and revision.


About the Artist
Karen’s abstract paintings are best described as an exploration in color. Often monochromatic, her work is a meditative and serene improvisation in the movement and depth of paint. Whether executed in earthy shades or vibrant tones, each painting evokes a different mood for the viewer’s contemplation. Karen’s body of work gives a gentle nod to the Color Field movement of the 20th Century, grounding her portfolio solidly within the evolving story of contemporary art.
