{"product_id":"28040-lawrence-carroll","title":"Lawrence Carroll","description":"\u003cp\u003eLawrence Carroll\u0026#39;s works are metaphors for their gradual process of creation. The American artist builds solid wooden boxes, saws them up and reassembles them, sticks canvas between them, gives them a final coating of wax and oil paint and fixes them on the wall. He then integrates other \u0026quot;painterly elements\u0026quot; into these spatial installations, such as canvases which he folds up and piles on top of each other. Carroll sees these \u0026quot;Paintings\/Wall Drawings\u0026quot; as biographical documents of his own life and as records of their production process. Looking at the seams and \u0026quot;wounds\u0026quot; of the works, the viewer can gradually trace back the working methods for himself. This creates a personal relationship to the objects and their subtly-constructed surfaces. This publication on Lawrence Carroll\u0026#39;s work contains an illuminating and comprehensive essay by Richard Milazzo describing Carroll\u0026#39;s artistic roots and strategies and the different stages of his life.
