Carl Anderson |
|||||
The Ribbon Series, an exhibit of paintings by contemporary Guyanese artist Carl Anderson, will be on view at International Visions Gallery from April 29 through June 12, 2010. The artist’s signature “ribbons” of color contrast light against darkness to create motion in 2-dimensional. The movement and dimension in Anderson’s work evidence a strong influence of Kinetic Art and Op Art. In the first part of the exhibition, Anderson’s bold geometric forms generate energy through vivid color and pulsating patterns. These kaleidoscopes are symbolic of life’s passageways. Anderson’s second set of work diverts from this geometric style, but maintains his characteristic precision through photo-realism. The ribbon reemerges as an emblem of dominance: wrapping the naked women, symbolizing the silencing of female voices and the exploitation of female bodies. Anderson states, “My work expresses on a two-dimensional surface images that portray a complex universe… blending color, light, life and the female form into a unifying theme of the cosmic.” Carl Anderson was born in Georgetown, Guyana (South America) in 1964. He studied Fine Arts at the Burrowes Schools of Art in his native city. His paintings have exhibited across Europe and the Mediterranean, Latin and Southern America, and the United States, in venues including Cairo’s National Museum of Modern Art, Guyana’s National Art Gallery, and the Malta International Art Biennial. His work is privately collected around the world. Soniceclectic.com
