Opening reception September 2nd 6-9pm
"My paintings come from a lifelong attempt to rectify my relationship with sensation. Within my perception, affects have misrepresented and contorted themselves and inform the way I behave and react. This ultimately unifies the colliding and disparate elements in my work that make up both the painting and the body of work. Whether I am making a painting of Schrodinger’s Cat or painting flowers from life, I try to locate the viewer within an encounter that exists in extremes: romantic and violent, rational and disconcerting, explosive and implosive, static and dynamic, harmonious and dissonant, magnanimous and banal. I have fleeting associations with signs, images or narratives, yet I find myself absorbed more so in the flows and intensities that describe their relationships -- crescendo, discord, entropy, rupture, hyperbole, extropy, whelm, indifference, fear. I want representation to stumble and stutter the way it is presented to me: incongruously yet with the most convincing of properties." - George Carr
