Notes

Notes:
Karl Maughan has been painting gardens since the mid-1980s and this accomplished concentration on subject has made him an international reputation.

Karl Maughan's fascination with gardens has come through his wish to explore light and colour. Photographing his chosen gardens in differing lights, Maughan records as much detail as possible. In the studio he then collages selected elements into new composite images. Applying paint in small areas of the canvas to avoid premature drying, he pieces the work together like a mosaic. Rather than blending colours, he uses clean colours side by side, This 'alla prima' (wet onto wet) technique was popular with the Impressionists. Viewed from a distance his (mostly large scale) paintings have the heightened effect of photorealism.

After ten years in London, Maughan returned to New Zealand in 2005. He lives in Auckland. In 1997 he was a finalist in the John Moore Painting Award. His work is held in public and private collections throughout the world including the Saatchin Collection, London where he was included in two exhibitions - ''Neurotic Realism'', 1998 and ''I'm a Camera'' 2001.
