Carter’s collection on display at Wet Paint includes her most recent piece, Coastal View, a stunning 5’ x 3’ painting that upholds her trademark fusion and abstract imagery capturing nature’s vibrant and transcendent beauty. Coastal View was several months in the making, as Carter enjoyed the winter in Key West.
Carter’s award winning career spans many decades and continents, and her extensive travel across the globe continues to shape her work as an experimental artist. Her work is consistently represented in both private and corporate collections nationally and internationally. Most recently, Carter’s work was displayed in the ‘Let There Be Art’ show in the Columbus Museum, Columbus, GA.
Of her work, Carter comments, “I love color and the tactile qualities of paint, and like to incorporate texture using a variety of tools…I have been privileged to travel extensively, and the memories of what I have seen and experienced have ultimately been translated into these abstract paintings, which I hope convey the joy I feel when I work.”
Lisa Bentley of NYC’s Art Approach had this to say: “There is something deeply intense and critical in personal sensibilities and modalities of Carter’s beautiful art works and expressions. Carter’s art somehow manages to muse and fuse the classical and the modern, the flat and the defined-it is personal biography meets movement, passion and a very physiological presence. Exhibiting an impeccable instinct for the emotionally evocative power of color, movement, texture, and shape, Carter shines as an artist whose work relates more to a state of mind, mood or feeling than a tangible object. Amidst a sea of art, Bonnie Carter manages to say something very different.”
