About the Item

Carole Garland chooses to refrain from painting sentimental peasant paintings inspired by her travels abroad. Here she departs in a major way. Intrigued by the pigeons gathered on the steps during a rainy day in Turkey, she focuses on two men, one young wearing a hoody and the other older, both seeming to be frustrated or anxious. The fighting pigeons in the foreground heighten the tension. Her travels to Turkey as well as to other disparate countries such as Finland and Burma, far apart geographically and in every other which way, have given her an appreciation of different cultures and the wide-ranging points of view in both life and in art. Oil painting on wood panel, with 1 and 1/2”in deep wood sides which can serve as a frame.

  • Venice Beach
    By Carole Garland
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    Depicts Carole Garland reveling in a hot summer day at the Venice Beach. Colorful beach umbrellas shield the timid from the burning sun while sunbathers bask in the searing heat. Yellow and blue ribbons floating on the wind celebrate Venice’s chaos and its whimsy. To focus the figure of a preteen who stands sentinel, Garland fades out the foreground sunbather on right and obfuscates the crouching man on left. The artist leads us to the groups of mysterious standing and sitting figures in the shadows and beyond. Garland’s collection of figurative work speaks to a contemporary sensibility in her approach to painting, while expressing a curiosity about the human form and an irrepressible concern for the human spirit. Carole Garland graduated from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill., studied at the Chicago Art Institute and the University of the Americas in Mexico City. She has worked privately with artists Keith Finch and Ron Pekar, taken numerous workshops and was mentored by David Gallup...

  • Kaian
    By Robert Marchessault
    Located in Montreal, Quebec
    My painting is an inquiry. I make images as a way of responding to experiences that are important to me. Experiences that help me to understand why I’m in this world often happens when I am outside in large open spaces. Painted images act as a tool. I respond to the spaces my art suggests. That response is usually non-verbal. I am interested in the experience of non-duality that “getting lost” in big spaces can sometimes produce for me. The paintings have gone through a range of artistic treatments with the recent years seeing a focus on space, light, textures, atmosphere and distance. My landscape paintings are made from memory, not from on-site drawings or photographs. I use memory as a filtering agent to remove non-essential visual elements. When a work is successful, it must have a sense of poetry. There is nothing “new...
