(13) Karen Chappelow - Transformation

About this Artwork
My page is taken from the Newnes Pictorial Knowledge Volume 9, 1950s edited by Enid Blyton, A Childrens’ Treasury of Verse-Little Masterpieces of Today and Yesterday.
A Midsummer Nights Dream-The Fairies Song.
I have painted Transformation as a form of awakening, the transformation of the body into a primal version- of the female, whereas the male looks on as the animal, tricked up to appear human in form. This in a sense for me is the story-no Fairies as such, but what happens in this dreamscape is the dream. It is dreamlike and blurs the edges of reality as a fairytale does, its primal, sexual and holds promise each person possibly becoming another, each person holding the possibility that they are both of these versions of their true self.
The forest awakening, the beast awakening, true forms appearing, true forms hidden…This is my interpretation and my ideal Midsummers Nights Dream.
About Karen
“I like it when I get a physical reaction from people when they view my art. The whimsy, fun and sometime political nature of life is evident from time to time. By expressing the fierceness of a female, the ridiculous in a scenario that I paint, a message turned into humour to soften the blow breaking down barriers to acceptance. The abstract nature of my work tries to blur the edges of reality and hopefully makes people smile, wonder and to think and create conversation.
Like squeezing a bit of lemon juice into a cut”.
