Original Artwork
Dimensions: Height 40 in x Width 30 in.
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
In this body of work, Carolanna pours paint on the canvas, gesturing, tilting and shifting it to create carefully color-blocked compositions. The colors carefully selected, the paint is mixed to a consistency that allows for these glossy biomorphic shapes.
Works in Gowanus, Brooklyn
While a seasoned veteran in abstraction, Carolanna’s eyes light up talking about her experiments with pigment and viscosity. Working like she does without a brush, pouring acrylic paint directly over canvas, is a dance with gravity on one side and materiality of paint on the other. What results are rolling curves of color that have been coaxed out over time instead of declared by the artist. I can’t help but follow the splatters of paint all over her studio floor, imagining how Carolanna would have crouched, lept over canvases, waved her arms in both sweeping and controlled movements.
