About The Artwork
This painting shows four french windows in a white clapboard wall, in cobalt violet/grey shadow with a diagonal of sunlight hitting the lower right corner white. The windows darkly reflect the deep green lawn and horizontal stripe of blue/grey water under a cerulean sky, with a partially cropped drak evergreen tree and two tree trunks waving small boughs of yellow/green leaves. Cutting into these reflections are bright sky and water in shapes rectangular, angled and trapezoidal, that are mirrors on the interior wall. These bright shapes are interspersed in such a way as to form a sort of choreography in counterpoint to the mullions, rectangles, and darkly reflected scene in the windows.

United States
Carpenter was born in 1953 in Greenville, Delaware, U.S.A. He studied with the painter Tom Bostelle near home and then went to the Rhode Island School of Design, where he earned a BFA in Film, in 1976. His work has been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver, P.S.1, New York, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris. Carpenter's painting style is a cross between old master techniques and expressionism. He makes marks with flicks of a fully-loaded palette knife, but to a precise rendering of hue and tone in a representational image. The image is built up in countless layers of oil glazes, much as Vermeer worked, only in thick impasto. Peeking through the layers are often the transparent traces of a map or poetry. This idea is borrowed from pentimento, the inherent feature of oil paint that, as it dries, it becomes more transparent, revealing what's underneath.
