About the Item

Beau Carey (born 1981) is an American painter and educator based in Albuquerque, NM. He embeds himself in challenging environments to experience and record a sense of place. Carey has traveled extensively to remote places to paint. He has worked en plein air in remote areas of New Mexico, the Arctic Circle in Norway, was the first wintertime artist resident in Denali National Park, and recently spent three weeks on Rabbit Island in Lake Superior, where he was awarded one of four funded residencies. Many of his landscape paintings explore contemporary themes of globalization and environmental concerns. Born in Albuquerque, he received his BFA and MFA from the University of New Mexico. He has instructed classes on Nature and Technology, Phenomena of Color, Outdoor Studio and Drawing and Painting at the University of New Mexico as well. His work can be seen at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge and at Victor Cripple Creek Open pit gold mine. His work has been exhibited throughout the country.

  • Sangre de Cristo 2
    By Beau Carey
    Located in Denver, CO
    By using references to navigational coastal profiling and by borrowing and subverting compositional structures of the 19th century American landscape painters I examine how modern landscapes came to be spatially constructed. Through a combination of on-site field studies and larger studio pieces I make bodies of work that reflect the individual characteristics of a specific place while retaining a critical awareness of the landscape genre. This practice, while fully absorbed into the cliché of modern landscape painting, is not innocuous. It is rooted in a history of globalism and environmental dominance. Through my work I explore this spatial language at times allowing individual works to teeter into abstraction. The works in Rise look specifically at how we will navigate and view a rapidly changing physical world. - Beau Carey
