Charles Carson « Heroes of creativity »

Carson… un isme

La brillante analyse du «Carsonisme» proposée dans le Fine Art magazine, permet aux collectionneurs de découvrir une facette que seules, les plumes expérimentées et les regards incisifs de Jamie Ellin Forbes & Victor Bennet Forbes pouvaient révéler. Un véritable joyau littéraire. En page couverture, faisant partie des héros de la créativité, on retrouve Charles Carson.

«L’oeuvre Vibrations florales, du mouvement Mosaique de Carson, est une véritable explosion de joie. Comment l’artiste réussit-il à capter l’énergie florale et à la traduire dans une proposition complexe de sonorité. Il ne révèle aucun secret, pas plus que ce que vous auriez appris des pensées de Pollock dans ses gestes d’éclaboussures de peinture, ou si Vincent savait vraiment qu’il composait sa célèbre «Nuit étoilée». Personne ne le sait vraiment, mais ce que nous savons de Carson c’est qu’il voue, lui aussi, entièrement sa vie à la peinture. " (traduit du texte de Jamie Ellin Forbes & Victor Bennet Forbes à lire dans la version originale.)

This is “Carsonism…”

By VICTOR FORBES

“...Because the colors are incredibly clean, there’s a tempo. You can’t just paint and you can’t extra-polate unless you know form; you have to know form, you have to be able to paint in order to extrapolate. Carson applies the paint with a tempo and a sense of color as if the light were coming through. The pieces are very energetic, almost kinetic—and there’s a definite form lent through the application of the color. I don’t know what Mr. Carson has in his mentality as he paints, but it looks to
me as if he’s painting the subconscious vision of what he sees; that he steps into the space between space, the dream space—and starts to paint the colors as they vibrate, as one form transitions from dream to reality and reality to dream and the abstract in-between. The colors are incredibly clean, which is rare—and they are built, have definition and are textural. You would think that it’s simple, but it is not. This is a very complex and difficult mode of expression to arrive at and you have to have an understanding of harmony and tempo to have a significant balance throughout the piece in order to create the composition. The result is the school of thought Carson is forming—Carsonism, Carson to the ism.” There are elements to this work that I have not seen elsewhere. I have not seen this technique done elsewhere. Have you?

“Isn’t this the founding of a thought process or a school? Did anybody do Braque or Leger, or Pollock before they did themselves?”
