Karen Davies is an artist based in Euroart Studios. "The Fallen Venus Series" is our July Exhibition:
"The artwork examines the history of making, a prehistoric mark juxtaposed with the contemporary process of collage. The images used are made by artists who may have been cave women, as opposed to cave men.
The Fallen Venus series places the figurative sculpture of the Venus within the painting plain. She is fallen but resilient. ainting with caution, rarely using brushes in making the work. The hands, as tools, help me address the rigour and the utter debilitation that I often associate with the weight of making painting with such a m Her work is an exercise of creativity as well as an absolute necessity. There is a longevity of cultural making, from the ice age onwards, (which has always included women) that is innate and essential to us as humans.
We doodle, we fumble, we agitate, we shape, we caress. As a sometime sculptor I approach pasculine history. The scale of a prehistoric Venus is the size of a hand. It is held, appropriated, contained, framed; it is always monumental.
Initially conceived as backgrounds or surfaces for further collage work, many of the painted seascapes are abstracted from photographs I took along the coastline near my hometown in the north east of England. Having lived in London for 6 years, I miss the horizon. "
