Karen Tronel
Karen Tronel’s work is underpinned by a deep potentiality for radical forms that shape our social and imaginary world, yet remain irrational, non- sensical, awkward and often absurd. Humour is deployed with an estranged familiarity to everyday indifference, whereby the experience is aligned to a soft grotesque form of discovery. This is an ongoing fascination which is dedicated to the shared social and physical predicaments of people, bodies and organs. Through the combination of processes spanning painting, sculpture, large-scale installation and film, Tronel creates a unique environment of objects, images and sounds that are finding space and momentum, a biting point, to constructively express disagreement, expand on language, behavioural cues and slanted perceptions.
