Jeff Carpenter

dfn Gallery, New York

The imagery that lies within Jeff Carpenter’s paintings is revealed like forms taking shape as our eyes adjust to darkness. His multi-layered works allude to the feelings embedded in the human experience of memory and time - emphasizing, yet also celebrating, the mysteries inherent in the trajectory of remembrance. He presents to us a visual experience where associations and feelings shape our consciousness as much as our minds’ "photographs". His process is both evident and elusive, his layering serves to present a visual representation of a thought as a conceptual subtext, which we assimilate based on our own reality. As the artist states:
"I would like to find a place in between abstraction and representational image-making, where the archetypal form that triggers your sense of place, of light, and knowingness, is filtered through an abstract of the sensation of being there."

Carpenter’s current body of work, consisting primarily of cloud imagery, deals with notions of travel and motion- specifically the transient nature of the sky and the experience of flying, as well as interpersonal travel. The clouds seem to sweep over your body as you stand in front of them, allowing the viewer a wide range of experiences. Included in the works is also a tribute to the victims of September 11th, which includes text directly related to the event.
