About the Artwork
Craig Carman's abstract paintings explore the relationships among colors and patterns. In this painting, he creates an intricate web of paint. The pattern resembles modernist textiles by Anni Albers, as well as recalling Jackson Pollock's all-over drip paintings. Visitors to the Lindquist Center can compare Carmon's composition to that of Pollock's Mural (1943) in the University of Iowa Museum of Art's collection. Carman compares his compositions to weaving in their interlocking colors and suggest of depth.
