About the Item
Artist Statement:
Like the Abstract Expressionists, I engage with the history of figurative and abstract art and constantly push the limits of figuration. I attempt to separate the image from the process to create a more complex and visually exciting body of work as well as a personal mythos. The struggle is to find meaning in the imagery and to determine how that meaning impacts the viewer.
Women are my primary subjects—be they androgynous, iconic or mythological goddesses, cartoon-like characters, or abstracted forms. Exaggerated mannerisms, hand gestures, and different points of view are part of my abstracted figuration. I use gestural, painterly expressionism in a non-ironic way.
My unique drawing style, combined with cartoonish abstract figuration, is a contribution to contemporary figuration. There is an authenticity to my struggle to dig deep to arrive at the final painting—in other words, the journey is important, not the preconceived image.
Color, as emotive content, is an important aspect of my work. I like to explore the tactile and physical nature of the possibilities of paint and at times use unconventional methods to arrive at the final image.

"I have always been a creative who thinks "outside the box". Art is easiest for me; it flows from whatever I've been thinking about, emotion, and soul and takes shape — from intrinsic importance to physical reality.… From nothingness comes something to share. My paintings are bright, colorful, and invigorating and I’ve been told and seen firsthand that they lift people’s spirits. A visitor to one of my shows commented, "Your paintings are so happy" and I responded, "that’s because I’m happy when I’m painting them".
I work passionately, and intuitively and I refuse to follow others’ rules. People have told me that the colors I’ve used others don’t dare put together because they’re "not supposed to", and then when I do it, they exclaim, "it works". You can call me an "intuitive painter" or "a colorist" or "an abstract-surrealistic organic and geometric anarchist". Whatever you call me, I hope you like what you see. " – Karen Kirshner
