KAREN CLARK

Inspiration?: “Chaos is a great inspiration. My studio looks like a hurricane hit with half-finished paintings and collages strewn everywhere. I get ideas from seeing the juxtaposition of visual ideas.”

Aesthetic?: My style is all over the place. I go from geometric to landscapes to portraits.”

Reaction?: “I find that people tend to see things in my work that even I am blind to. Everyone is a painting whisperer, so I try not to telegraph what I’m thinking.”

Styling Tip?: “I like geometric and minimalist work in modern houses. Metallic paintings are unusual and tend to get attention in a room. But with art, anything goes.”

CAT ART SHOW LOS ANGELES will feature an original work by Karen Clark.? Cats have been part of our lexicon (not to mention our home life) for thousands of years. The Egyptians frequently aligned them with the gods, like Bastet, the goddess of warfare. Later, great artists like Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, and Pablo Picasso all created masterpieces centered around cats,?sometimes showcasing them as companion, sometimes around something much deeper symbolically.

Cat Art Show Los Angeles will be the largest multi-artist exhibition of cat inspired artwork for sale ever exhibited.? All artwork will be for sale, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the?Stray Cat?Alliance of Los Angeles.
