About The Artwork
Blue Study for JFK © 1994 Media: oil & mastic on canvas 30" x 24" (76 cm x 61 cm) This painting depicts the cropped view of a window with a curtain radiating an amber glow as it catches the sunlight. The window mullions and window blinds, cast a grid of shadows onto the surrounding dark blue wall. In overlapping view, reminiscent of a double exposed photograph, is the view of a vehicle on a populated street with two figures seated inside. Stairs running up the side of a building, painted in monochromatic blues are set behind the vehicle. In the very center of the composition, is a square highlights the seated figures as it is painted true to color with full saturation. Embedded in the paint are faint traces of a nautical chart.

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.
