Waterhouse & Dodd

Karen Gunderson – Recent Paintings and Works on Paper, Waterhouse & Dodd, 47 Albemarle Street London W1, until 28th March 2015

The American-born artist Karen Gunderson has since the 1980s used only black or white paint in creating pictures. She uses five different shades of black and scores the painted surface to create the impasto that reflects the light and gives the illusion of movement in sky and water. The result as you can see in this her first solo London show is remarkable.
