Dianne Kaufman
BA Fine Art

Dianne Kaufman works are oils on canvas, using thickly applied oil paint ( a technique known as impasto ) portraits of a kind, though more about substance than visual likeness, (de Kooning said that flesh is what oils were invented for); acknowledging the influence of de Koonig, Francis Bacon, Chaim Soutine and Lucien Freud.

The accidental happenings in their execution seem to have some resonance with those chance elements of birth and life that inform the appearance of every individual.

Dianne’s work has been widely exhibited and holds a universal fascination. With clients in the UK, France, Spain, Australia and the States the last few years have heralded a new recognition for her practice

Exhibitions in: London, Philadelphia, Spain, New York, Miami.
