As an abstract artist, Binu honours memory, sense of place, and the beauty of the environment. Her emotive works evoke the experience of being within a landscape and express a deep sense of belonging through connection to place.

Her expressive paintings are rooted in memories of her childhood in India and shaped by her journey across continents throughout her adult life.

She began painting around 20 years ago with renowned artist Astrid Dahl, who encouraged her to paint from her gut, unabashedly. Over the years, her style has evolved, as has the media she works with, but abstraction has remained the common thread.

She is enthralled by the spontaneity of mark-making, using a variety of tools alongside pencils, charcoal, pastels, and pigments. This process aligns closely with the themes she explores, where layer upon layer is built up and then scratched back to reveal history beneath the surface. She values the depth this technique brings to her work, allowing her to communicate her inner voice.

She has exhibited at Manchester Art Fair, Art Surrey Epsom, Contemporary Art Fair Esher, and Windsor and Weybridge Art Festival. Binu is co-founder of BlueHouse Artspace, a working art gallery in Esher, UK. Her work is held in private collections in the UK, US, Singapore, and India.

“I paint the experience of being in a woman’s body - it’s strength, vulnerability and awkwardness.

My oil paintings move between figure and abstraction. Bodies, stretch, curl, hide, protest, reflect and take up space. I am less interested in realism than in recognition - that moment when something feels emotionally true.

It matters to me that women recognise something of themselves”.

“There is joy, awe and at times a sense of loss in my relationship to the living world. The recurrence in nature that creates pattern also creates calm. In my continuous exploration of this phenomenon I seek an affinity with nature. Moments of light expose a sense that the connection to nature we covet as humans is a connection to ourselves. Through my work I am reminded in waves of realisation, that we are nature. I invite the viewer to consider their own relationship with and place with in nature.”

Karen studied the history of art and fine art at De Montfort University, Leicester. After a career as a Creative Director in the stills photography industry, she re-established herself as an artist in her home studio in Surrey in 2019.

Working largely in acrylic and mixed media, Karen works intuitively to create expressive, colourful, energetic works on canvas, board and paper. She has developed a fluid semi-abstract style, with expressive mark making and the balance of line, mark and colour as her foundation.

Karen takes her inspiration from nature in all its forms; from the detail of a single garden flower to the wild sweep of countryside and coast. Her fascination with the beauty of the world informs her work. Subverting the way that we see nature by abstracting and removing detail, she makes us stop and focus on the energy of a place.

Karen is a member of both the United Art Space and Louise Fletcher’s Art Tribe. She was longlisted in the 2023 and 2024 VAO Art Prize, and was a finalist in the 2023 Women in Art Awards.
