About the Item

This small oil painting featuring hues of green, turquoise and tan. 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.
