de boer debuted two exhibitions Sara Carter: Camden Nights, as well as a group exhibition titled Back of Our Hands. The opening art party took place on Saturday, June 17, 2023. The show runs through July 29, 2023.
About Sara Carter: Camden Nights
This is Carter’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Her paintings are influenced by moments of seeking solace from trauma and abuse experienced in her early adult life. Each painting is engaged and fueled by a journey of highly personal memories of Carter searching for peace.
Carter begins each painting by carefully layering atmospheric and gestural marks on heavy linen canvas. Thus the result is a complex balance of disruption giving voice to dramatic experiences and moments of time in specific places. Carter transforms the canvas into a laboratory that ponders darkness and misery equally with light and pleasure. Through the use of color, form, and texture Carter prompts all of the human emotions; tragedy, serenity, ecstasy, isolation, and despair culminating in a sense of indecision from the intimate frame of a canvas.
