Karl England

Date of birth 26.Jun.75
Place of birth New Zealand
Country of residence United Kingdom

"The content of my work is concerned with the romantic futility of
depicting the invisible. How can the visualized un-visual be depicted with any clarity? I maintain a conceptual approach to painting that toys with
its limits as a medium. The painted imagery hovers just on the edge of
immateriality. Embracing the notion of certain failure, my work explores
ideas around the exhaustion of symbols, tropes of absence, invisibilit and concealment. I utilize a range of strategies from the indexical to the
accidental. With understanding being just out of reach or focus, it is as
if I were painting things that are moving on the periphery of my vision,
but when I turn my head to get a clearer view the target moves. It is the
paradoxical which I hope may find a home in my work."
