"MOUNTS"
ARTIST: CARLA KNOPP
4 STAR GALLERY
OCTOBER 16 - NOVEMBER 14, 2009
OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 5-9 PM
4 Star Gallery is pleased to announce "Mounts", a exhibition of paintings by
Indianapolis artist Carla Knopp. Works from this series were recently shown in
"Giganticism" at the Silas Marder Gallery, Bridgehampton, NY, and are featured
in "New American Paintings" (#83), juried by Lynne Warren (scheduled for
release in early October). "New American Paintings" is a national exhibition-inprint
competition, featuring 40 artists from each regional competition. This
exhibition at 4 Star Gallery is the first public viewing of the entire "Mounts" series.
Carla's work often explores metaphysics through myth and metaphor. The
Mounts series initially read as a quirky group of ridiculous structures. They
suggest some archeological mystery. These are earthworks of unknown origin,
and of unknown, but undeniable purpose. They may be monuments, they may be
poignant memorials. They may be of human or alien or supernatural creation, but
they strongly demonstrate the presence of sentiency within a corporeal world.
This "constructed by some constructor" metaphor extends even further, for the
images themselves are "built" in paint by the artist, through an intuitively guided
process.
