Mixed acrylic paint on cotton, framed
Moving away from line and figurative art, Karen van de Vliet developed a new approach to her work that aims to embrace an imperfect beauty. By working with the concept of a stain, Karen was able to get back to basics, to the essence, which is still at the heart of her practice. She is intrigued by shapes created on the weathered, chipped, broken, scraped and dented surfaces. In these weathered parts, Karen finds the essence of true beauty. Inspired by these findings, she creates wondrous abstract pieces that contemplate imperfection. Acrylic paint, water and various other materials are applied intuitively - often on unstretched cotton - allowing expression to run wild.

In Translucent XVI, Karen van de Vliet builds a layered composition in which colour appears to surface from within the work. Luminous red, blue and pink accents are partially veiled by pale translucent areas, while strong black and white lines bring rhythm and contrast. The irregular contours extend beyond the wooden frame, emphasising the work’s sculptural character. Intimate in scale yet visually assertive, this unique artwork occupies the space between abstract painting and wall sculpture.
