About the Item

This small oil painting featuring hues of green, blue and yellow. Athens-based artist Carol John’s recent series “Big Bang” features paintings with erratic patterning & brilliant colors layered in order to surprise a viewer’s sensibility. Carol’s paintings work to hypnotize the viewer & to represent familiar objects in unexpected ways. Working with oil paint on canvas and paper, her work references text, pop graphics, interlocking shapes & symbols. She examines familiar shapes & objects like circles, dots, ice cream combs, cigarette butts, lips, words & eyeballs. These forms star in her paintings & are constantly being recombined in new ways. They represent an evolving & continuous dialogue about what painting can be. Carol received a BFA from New York's School of Visual Arts in 1986. For four decades, she’s had a rigorous studio practice, creating brilliantly colored paintings that shift & circle back on themselves over time. Her work has been included in the Atlanta Biennial at the Atlanta Contemporary in 2007 & 2019. Her work has been shown in galleries & institutions nationally, & has pieces in the permanent collection of Atlanta’s High Museum of Art. Publications that have written about her work include New York Magazine, Burnaway, ArtsAtl, Flagpole, The Bitter Southerner & others.

Abstract Pop Art Oil Painting: 'Eye Balls'
By Carol John
Located in New York, NY
Carol John's art reflects her encounters with mainstream modern artists-showing the obvious influence of Guston and other individualists like Marsden Hartley and Alfred Julio Jensen-it also suggests an appreciation of certain 'outsider' artists, as with her improvisational approach to composition. Like quilters of Gee Bend, John often begins a work with little idea of where it will take her pictorially. She might find a composition’s repeating pattern needs to be squeezed to fit within a pictures margins or detoured around a corner for completion as if the papers edge were merely a slight obstacle. In their unrestricted manner, the paintings have much more in common with childhood doodles, mindless of convention and heedless of expectations. that is not to say they are directionless. Guided by insight, they recall the paintings of visionary artists like Howard Finster or J.B Murray...
