Website:
Carl Foster is a New Zealand born painter with Latin heritage whose work is expressed dynamically in a cubist expressionist style. It is extremely diverse, encapsulating landscape, still life and abstraction. A dedicated and emerging artist, Carl has produced a significant body of work with Travellers his 7th exhibition with Pierre Peeters Gallery.
Recurrent themes in Foster’s work are largely around ecology, the Maori relationship with land and the spirituality that is derived from this relationship. Also in this new show Foster explores the idea of migration, journeys both physical and spiritual throughout the land and the mind.
These themes are explored using remarkably different usages of paint than his earlier work. Here we see dark outlines prevalent alongside a more flat use of colour, creating a graphic quality. Pockets of representation appear between these cartoon-like landscapes of abstracted folding, suddenly shocking the eye into recognition. Here the land is more of a desert with the theme of migration plainly evident in the work The Travellers 2010, where a single line formation of dark figures cross a barren, unforgiving landscape.
Travellers runs until the 1st of May and is a strong new body of work marked by transition and connection to the land.
