“Karen Heagle’s third solo show blends symbolism, naturalism and illustration with sincerity and a subterranean sense of irony.”

“The esoteric content of her pictures is enhanced by their thick, painterly execution. Acrylic and ink are applied to roughly trimmed paper in blunt strokes, creating a sense of physicality enhanced by her improbable use of bright and iridescent hues. ”

“Karen Heagle’s paintings, portraying unsung predatory animals such as hyenas and vultures, suggest a parody of consumerism but she also weaves in aspects of spirituality and symbolism; her work engages deeply with feminism, life cycles, sexuality, and queer identity.”
