J Carr

Emerging from a multidisciplinary background in media that includes oil, acrylic, graphite, and ink as a means of interpreting life, I've ultimately embraced the evolving world of digital painting. Anchoring the core of my work is the circle, a recurring visual and conceptual structure that functions as both symbol and system. Across human history, the circle has defined continuity, connection, eternity, and the infinite. Through intricate layering of pattern and color, I explore rhythms that can both soothe and energize, reflecting the complexity and beauty of our internal and external worlds.

Often, my digital paintings are abstracted images of physical realities. A brown bar might suggest the ground, a blue bar the sky, an orange bar the sunrise - usually populated by representative circles. I encourage viewers to 'fill in the blanks' with whatever my paintings personally evoke.
