Sol Karmel-Shann

Sol Karmel-Shann is a figurative artist based in Canberra in Australia. He paints portraits in oils, working intuitively until an image and mood start to unfold. His expressive use of brush strokes, texture and colour further develops the painting’s mood. The sensitivity and depth of feeling with which he paints a person’s facial expression, body language and context is arresting and the viewer cannot help but wonder about that particular subject’s unique character and life in that moment.
