Artist Statement
BUT THAT WAS
MORE THAN I DID
EVER HOPE FOR
Every little painting starts out as something that's going to be perfect, but of course, along the way, things go wrong.
But then actually, it's the bits that go slightly wrong that make it a painting.

NIKI HARE
b 1971 Bristol
“The words are a combination of an overheard or imagined narrative, my personal state of mind, the world around me, and all the things between that are hard to label.”
Self-taught artist Niki Hare’s word paintings are first and foremost about giving shape to emotions that can be hard to express in daily life. The work is highly personal, and even when, at times, the words are buried underneath one another, the important thing, according to the artist, is that they have been said. Hare’s unique use of color, transparency and layering is emblematic of her ambition to create a new visual language. The often vibrant works convey a sense of depth and movement, some words stand out, some fade to the back, creating a second narrative, that takes places in the interplay between the words, extending far beyond their individual meaning.
