London, United Kingdom

In his art, Karl creates dynamic oil paintings driven by chance encounters between marks and colour. His process involves working on multiple pieces simultaneously, ranging from small to large. The studio is his creative hub, where he experiments with various techniques like wiping, printing, and pouring paint. Completion isn't the goal; instead, he guides each painting through a natural evolution. Despite the emotive imagery in his art, Karl balances it with simple, everyday words in his titles. This intentional contrast adds depth and completeness to his work.
