About the Item
My paintings are the primary way in which I try to understand the complexities of the region where I live. Most of my work is built on themes of human perception, the boundaries and possibilities of our senses, and the importance of individual and collective memory in shaping cultural imagery and aesthetics of place. I like to use common Western imagery and symbolism to create conceptual works that are Western in aesthetic but employ themes that are widely applicable to the American experience. I feel compelled as an artist to express how this absolutely one-of-a-kind place has the ability to profoundly impact all those who exist within it, whether we are aware of it or not.

I have spent my entire life in the West, but it wasn’t until I started my environmental studies program in college that I really started to more consciously pay attention to the landscapes and cultures around me and how they are interconnected. The West is now a cornerstone to my identity. My paintings are the primary way in which I try to understand the complexities of the region where I live.

- Sangre de Cristo 2By Beau CareyLocated in Denver, COBy 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 CareyCategory
