Karan Hayman Amongst Water - Recent Paintings

2 Dec - 24 Dec 2023

Karan Hayman

AMONGST WATER These most recent works continue to reflect and explore the realms of Mother Nature and the natural environment with all its beauty, hardship and complexity once humans are also added to the mix.

Mixed in with the timeless and ageless questions to those mysteries and the ambiguities that arise.

Colours are used to reflect mood and emotion and shapes are carefully placed and positioned to construct and create space, perspective and to help balance and build the overall compositions.

The familiar images and motifs that historically reappear throughout my work have become more sophisticated over time more direct and obvious.

The hills, waterways, seas, roads, trees, boats, birds, horses ect ect each have a symbolic metaphorical purpose and are used to represent and reflect the timeless questions around the spiritual, the unknown and to reflect emotions, feelings of loss, thoughts and ideas.

An example would be ‘boats’ used to represent our timeless external search for ‘something more’ or ‘something new’ a new journey, a new pathway ect ect.

‘Hayman’s response to the landscape is an aesthetic one imbued with the sensitivity of an artist who feels the landscape as much as see’s it.

“The mood of isolation and a strange melancholy exude her work” Dr Ashley Crawford Australian Arts writer and author of numerous publications.

Born in 1959 Hayman studied Fine Art at RMIT in 1980 and while still at Art School in 1981 was a founding artist that established Roar Studios Artist Run Co Operative and Gallery in Brunswick Street Fitzroy Melbourne. Hayman completed Post graduate studies at RMIT in 1992.

Hayman has held numerous solo exhibitions in Australia and Tokyo and has been represented in numerous group exhibitions in around Australia including National Gallery of Australia Canberra, Heidi Art Museum, Shepparton, Regional Art Gallery, Benalla Regional Gallery ect and most recently Ponlyland Exhibition at Logan Art Gallery QLD as well as Group exhibitions in Tokyo and USA. Hayman’s work is held in the collections of National Gallery of Australia Canberra, National Gallery of Victoria, Art Bank, New Parliament House Collection, Kyneton Collection Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Baillieu Myer Collection, Gaden’s Sydney, Zurich Insurance Melbourne, Sangi Company Collection Tokyo and numerous private collections in Australia, Europe, USA and Japan.
