Matt Carrano's paintings use the landscape, still life, or human figure as a point of departure and a vehicle for exploring abstract composition.
MessageStarting in 2020, I began making a series of paintings using acrylic paint and pasted paper collage. This series includes landscapes and abstract work that explores how color evokes space - imagined or observed. Collage provides the opportunity to construct an image through the arrangement of ready-made color shapes rather than painting directly onto a blank canvas.
