About the Item
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, both from Georgia. Murray covered reams of paper with calligraphic script in a private language, arrayed in inventive patterns and worked into obsessive density. In his more figural work, he frequently crowded the page with countless eyes staring as one, eerily confronting the viewer. John, too, has amassed swarms of eyeballs to a similarly unnerving effect. Disembodied and separated from paired sets, her pupils roll their focus to the left and right or up into their sockets. Rarely do they look onto a viewers gaze. Yes, you are being watched, but furtively, and that maybe even more disarming. -Dennis Harper

For the last 20 years she has gone into her studio every morning at 8:30. “When I am in my studio I try to push the colors into bursts of energy that explode on the canvas. I want my work to animate the space that it inhabits. It is this energy between the eye and the mind that interests me” - Carol John

- Imbarcato, fuga in barca volanteLocated in Milano, MILooking at her works of art, at first sight one is amazed, because still unfamiliar, in front of her fantastic creativity. Her characters seem to come from "different" worlds, sometimes distant, other times hidden within us. They walk through the woods and meadows, they peer over the shores where the waves break in a continuous and unstoppable dialogue. Often very small, hiding among the blades of grass, but also huge figures, like the characters from the fairy tales of when we were children, naive and still "pure". Here, this purity of childhood is slowly and inexorably awakened in us by looking at the works of Carin Grudda...Category
