Maintaining original gallery label from Graham Gallery, Madison Ave. New York Biography: Jon Carsman (1944-1987) Education: B.S. Art Education, Wilkes College, 1966 M.A. Art Education, New York University, 1967 Jon Carsman was born in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania surrounded by the Applalachian Mountain Range where he found his inspiration in the play of color and light reflected across the framed houses, streets and countryside of small town America. Jon Carsman found the source of his inspiration in the play of color and light reflected across the framed houses, streets and country sides of small town America. His paintings synthesize realism and fantasy. Color is an important factor in Carsman’s work. His pallet is vibrant and intense. Carsman isolates strong areas of color in juxtaposition with dark outline; the colors become crystallized motifs with a sparkling jewel-like quality. Color is the greatest emotional factor in painting and Carsman uses this device very successfully. Carsman paints broad areas of vivid high-key tones with a surprising effect that creates a dynamic interplay of light and shadow.
