Referencing the metaphorical layers of an onion, Carl White’s newest body of work shifted focus to creating art in a time of great change as well as how he is taking on the role of an artist during such a vastly transitional time in history. Never one to shy away from larger philosophical themes in his creative practice, this body of work unabashedly lures the viewer into a visual meditation. Drawing from the symbolism of Hokusai’s “Great Wave,” the spirituality of the colour blue and transcendental power of art, Carl endeavours to create artwork that owes much to history but with his own characteristic style and contemporary handling of materials.
We are reworking the traditional Artist Reception to adapt and stay safe with the times -
WILL THERE BE AN OPENING RECEPTION AND ARTIST TALKS? HOW WILL THAT WORK WITH COVID?
With Covid still a concern we are reworking our gallery events to remain engaged with you while ensuring we all remain safe by limiting the number of people in the gallery for events. That said, we will be offering multiple days and time slots for people to attend our Artist Receptions, Artist Talks and are offering times to book a Private Tour with Carl. We request visitors pre-book the day/time they wish to come on our website so that we can stay within the recommended safe limits. You can view all the options & book your visit on our website under APPOINTMENTS.
