Carol Rhodes

About this book

The significant body of work that Carol Rhodes has produced over the past twenty five years assimilates and moves beyond two major critical impasses for modern painting: photography and pure abstraction. Rhodes makes small-scale paintings depicting, from aerial viewpoints, encounters between the natural environment and human intervention, fictional syntheses resulting from a re-mixing of photographic sources. Finding beauty in deserted and apparently alienating places, her paintings allow us to contemplate our own relationship to the world around us.
