Chris Carter

Born October 19, 1951 in West Lafayette, Indiana, USA.
The driving force behind my work is my relationship to space. Spheres play a significant role in my paintings - there is no beginning nor end to them. I move through space observing all aspects of a sphere and object that can be described as a mathematical equation and as a component of all matter both universally large and microscopically small. The sphere is the shape that symbolizes the questions and answers of who we are and where we are in this or perhaps in multiple universes.

As an artist, I sense energy between shapes, colors and textures. Energy is not confined to the two dimensional surface of paper or canvas. Just as sound travels in waves, so does art. Color is perceived because of the way a wavelength of light is translated by the human eye. The energy of a painting is determined by the interaction of its elements: line, color, shape, value and texture. Energy waves have healing powers. My hope is that wherever my paintings are exhibited, whether in private collections or public venues, the viewers will experience positive, healing energy from the work that will be passed on to their loved ones as well as the to the strangers they pass during day.
