The ARCHITECTURE of BONES and RUGS
A
solo exhibition of Pen and Ink Drawings and Painted Rug Designs by South American
artist COLIN
ABBYSSINIAN CARTO.
Through May 2012. South American artist Colin
Abbyssinian Carto
deconstructs the architecture of form, structure, and design in this complementary set of two
distinct bodies of
work. Through a series of detailed
skeletal drawings and intricate
painted tapestry
"rugs", Carto probes the
fundamental building blocks (or "bones") that
create the complex
elements of design. See the artist's
statement
about this series. Mr. Carto was born in Guyana and
recieved a Bachelors
degree in Fine Art in Textile Design from the Fashion Institute of
Technology in New York city. He has exhibited
in Guyana, Barbados, and Trinindad, and currently resides
and works in
Brooklyn, NY.
