When most people visit a city, they go to the
major tourist attractions. My travels take me to the Chamber of
Commerce path in my never-ending quest for the urban Grail, the
combination of architecture and humanity that will make an exciting,
dynamic cityscape. My goal is to evoke a sense of identity with the
subject. When people tell me they feel they can walk into one of my
paintings and be absorbed by it, I know I've succeeded." |

Alan Carter -- Carol Stream, Illinois |
|
| |
|
|
Describing himself as a
superrealist, Alan Carter begins a piece by shooting dozens of
photographs of a single location from many angles and under varying
weather, lighting and traffic conditions. As he paints, he
manipulates color, light, shadow and the image itself. Carter's
surrealistic cityscapes have been exhibited in such diverse
locations as the New York Art Expo, the Los Angeles Art Expo and
Miami International Art Show. His work is in the collections of the
Kansas City Royals; German Consulate, Chicago; Miami Beach City
Hall; IBM, Des Moines; and others. He is a graduate in music from
Indiana University. |
