Altered States - an exhibition of paintings by KAREN LOADER

Karen Loader’s artistic process begins with a place – she walks around it, photographing, noting architectural shapes, textures and juxtapositions of colour.

For her latest exhibition Altered States, she explored her own Holloway neighbourhood where she has lived for more than 25 years, roaming the back streets and alleyways off the A1 up to Highgate.

Back in the studio, she works her subjective observations into drawings that play with space and colour.
