Karen Rempel Solo Art Show

Karen has managed to capture the essence of these contrasts with her alla prima plain aire techniques. Many of her works have been created live on-location or from photographs that she has clicked while exploring the countryside. Karen has focused on three themes while in India.

The Human Nature series uses oil medium to study her subjects in a mare detailed and realistic style. Smaller vividly coloured works often make you feel like you are peering through a portal to another era. Karen's study of colour, light, and shape will no doubt trigger your own memories of similar experiences in your own life.

The Contradictions series shows the contrast between humans and nature in Hyderabad. The surge of humanity thrust upon the landscape of Hyderabad are highlighted in this series. Trees and soil changes rapidly over time, but these rock formations have been witness to many generations. Let your imagination wander as you take a peek at what Karen has captured on canvas.

DNA series (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is something that fascinates Karen and has inspired her latest series. DNA is "natures blueprint' and interconnects every living thing on the earth. The fact that we are all virtually identical yet-each unique in our own way has given Karen endless opportunity to laydown on canvas a contemporary style of the very basic element of nature that has been around since the beginning of life on our planet.
