John Carter RA
In Colour
9 October - 1 November 2024
It was a surprise to see the use of powerful colours in my own earlier paintings. I found that it brought a different kind of energy and “presence” to the work even an increased voltage! I realised this was something which could be reintroduced and in turn could form fresh possibilities of development.
For many years John Carter's work has been associated with greys and pale blues, but there have always been occasional forays into stronger colours.
Using a new approach he allows the colours to appear in their full intensity. This exhibition, which includes work from 1980 to the present day, is clear evidence of this renewed interest.
