Karan Hayman
Karan Hayman’s art practice focuses on painting, drawing and printmaking. Melbourne born Hayman now lives on a small farm in Kyneton, Central Victoria, Australia.
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 Hayman studied Fine Art at RMIT in 1980 and while still at Art School in 1981 was a founding artist that established Roar Studios Artist Run Co Operative and Gallery in Brunswick Street Fitzroy Melbourne. Hayman completed Post graduate studies at RMIT in 1992.
Hayman has held numerous solo exhibitions in Australia and Tokyo and has been represented in numerous group exhibitions in around Australia including National Gallery of Australia Canberra, Heidi Art Museum, Shepparton, Regional Art Gallery, Benalla Regional Gallery ect and most recently Ponlyland Exhibition at Logan Art Gallery QLD as well as Group exhibitions in Tokyo and USA.
