Karan Hayman’s art practice focuses on painting, drawing and printmaking. Melbourne born Hayman lives on a small farm in Kyneton, Dja Dja Wurrung Central Victoria, Australia.
Hayman’s carefully structured canvases are distinguished by their highly personalised and often surreal, whimsical approach. Imagery and motifs such as horses, trees, boats, water, roads and figures are used in a symbolic way to capture and express emotions, thoughts and moods. The textured surfaces are palpably sensual, flowing seascapes and landscapes ambiguous in an arresting and mysterious yet always warmly lyrical way.
