Karan Hayman’s carefully structured canvases are distinguished by their highly personalised and often surreal, whimsical approach. Motifs and symbols such as horses, trees, boats, water, roads and figures have always been used throughout Hayman’s career. The textured surfaces are palpably sensual, flowing seascapes and landscapes ambiguous in an arresting and mysterious yet always warmly lyrical way. Born in 1959, studied Fine Art at RMIT 1980 and while still at Art School in 1981 was one of the founding artists that established Roar Studios in Fitzroy Melbourne. Completing her post graduate studies at RMIT in 1992. Hayman has held numerous solo exhibitions in Australia and Tokyo and numerous group exhibitions including National Gallery of Australia, Heidi Art Museum, Shepparton, Regional Art Gallery, Benalla Regional Gallery and most recently Ponlyland Exhibition at Logan Art Gallery QLD. Hayman’s work is held at the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Art Bank, Parliament House Collection, Kyneton Collection, Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Baillieu Myer Collection, Gaden’s Sydney, Zurich Insurance Melbourne, Sangi Company Collection Tokyo and International private collections.
