Carlson Hatton: Still Life Paintings
Carlson is a Los Angeles based painter and arts educator. His psychologically charged paintings explore the many layers that constitute daily life. Memories, urges, regrets and the persistence of a reality that’s lost visual coherence. Densely layered compositions offer moments of recognition while continuously threatening to collapse under their own weight into a realm of abstraction and gesture. ...

Hatton filters through advertising, art history and documentation of daily life to create imagery that is highly saturated, densely layered and designed to be deciphered and discovered.
