Patrick Carrara Garden of Silence Triptych, Graphite on Paper, 2009

About the Item

Contemporary New York artist Patrick Carrara's Garden of Silence Drawings was created in 2009. G.O.S. (2009-2010) was the first series using a mechanical pencil with a hard 5H graphite lead on soft Magnani paper which allowed him to engrave the surfaces. He started by dividing a large square into nine small squares, then he followed each edge of each shape as he drew and redrew. It took him thousands and thousands of lines to accomplish these works. By changing a single detail (or very few) in a highly complex pattern, Carrara leaves us open to discover that these small variations modify and alter each individual work and our perception of them. There are currently 86 editions in this series, all one of a kind pieces of work. Signed, dated and numbered by the artist on verso. This unframed triptych will ship directly from the artist's studio. Shown in the first photo, from left to right: Image 3: Garden of Silence #46 (13.75" x 13.75") , Image 4: Garden of Silence #48 (13.75" x 13.75"), Image 5: Garden of Silence #49 (13.75" x 13.75"). About the artist: Born in Nice in the southeast of France, Patrick Carrara ventured to Paris in 1970 to begin his career in visual arts. After studies at the Fine and Graphic Arts school, he crossed the vast breadth of the Sahara. On the other side of the Atlantic, Carrara traveled north through Central America to Mexico and the United States. He traveled light, but never without his leather briefcase in which he carried paper, colored pencils, and a pen. They were, the tools of Carrara's trade, the instruments of his art, and rare was the time that he was not putting them to creative use. Not until his return to Paris, however, was he able to establish himself fully as a painter and illustrator. By then, though, the center of the art world was the city of New York. He moved to Brooklyn, NY in 1994 where he currently resides. Patrick Carrara’s work is included in important private and corporate collections as well as being featured in art publications. He has exhibited in galleries and art fairs around the globe and continues to produce commissioned work for collectors.
