"Kinkade Meets Turner Paints Sci-fi With Fanbrush"

  Carla Knopp presents
current landscapes from her studio 

November 2 - 24, 2012

Dewclaw founder Carla Knopp presents current landscape paintings from her studio. She revisits her earlier working methods, using a wet-into-wet application to intuitively conjure new imagery. Many of these paintings use a high-keyed palette and imagery that steer them toward the realm of kitsch. These choices also give the paintings a new aesthetic look, creating new paths of reference. The results range a bit, from the raucously saccharine and playful, to poetic, wistful, and ominous.

These paintings start from similar intentions and methods, and then become independent explorations.
