About The Artwork

Anybodyinthere? © 2020 Media: oil & mastic on canvas This painting is a composition of rectangles and trapezoids in umber and indigo shadows and bright seashore landscapes. It is a double exposure, a layering of two images together: one of them is the view out of a window onto the shingled wall of a cabin with the view through a second window to a sun-swept grass meadow and a thin line of ocean at the horizon. In the shadows of the foreground room we see a curved kitchen faucet and shelves with some glass shapes like pitchers. Within these blue-greys and umbers cut three tall windows looking out of a porch onto a semi-circle of red adirondack chairs seen from behind on a larger version of the green meadow with a very long line of blue ocean at the horizon, blocked, here and there, by dunes and shrubbery all sun-blessed in pale lemon greens, olive greens, and sandy hues. In the window on the left, a girl has bent forward pushing her hands and her nose up against the screen, looking in with her lower lip caught in her teeth and her eyes wide.

Carpenter was born in 1953 in Greenville, Delaware, U.S.A. He studied with the painter Tom Bostelle near home and then went to the Rhode Island School of Design, where he earned a BFA in Film, in 1976. His work has been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver, P.S.1, New York, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris. Carpenter's painting style is a cross between old master techniques and expressionism. He makes marks with flicks of a fully-loaded palette knife, but to a precise rendering of hue and tone in a representational image. The image is built up in countless layers of oil glazes, much as Vermeer worked, only in thick impasto. Peeking through the layers are often the transparent traces of a map or poetry. This idea is borrowed from pentimento, the inherent feature of oil paint that, as it dries, it becomes more transparent, revealing what's underneath.
