The composition by James Carter compel us to
re-examine the familiar. His carefully orchestrated subjects are fascinating
voyages into the interior of a questioning consciousness. Formally trained at
the Art Institute of Maryland, he was introduced to airbrush work as a vehicle
to achieve the translucent surface he wished to create. Using drafting
techniques while utilizing a stage set environment, he juxtaposes inanimate
objects with land and sea wildlife as subjects of a surreal composition. James
Carter has won numerous accolades including awards and honors since 1978. His
work has been exhibited widely with one man shows in Washington D.C., New York
City, Boston, and Los Angeles. His work is included in major corporate and
municiple collections including Christian Dior, Yale University and the Bruce
Museum in Greenwich Connecticut.
This work is one of four subjects comprising
the “Toy Maker Suite”
