  • ENG KETELEER GALLERY Is Very Pleased to Present a Solo
    ENG KETELEER GALLERY is very pleased to present a solo exhibition by American painter Lawrence Carroll (1954- 2019). The exhibition consists of a selection of works from the Deweer Gallery Estate. Lawrence Carroll, born in Melbourne, Australia and died in May 2019, considers himself a true painter. Although his works are rarely recognisable as classic paint-on-canvas work, this is always his point of departure. However, the creative process causes the works to unfold in literally all directions. One can imagine the canvas with which it all started, but the end result is a complex layered structure of linen, wood, cardboard, wax, flowers, ice … and paint. Everyday things – leftovers that would’ve been thrown away – are added, removed, cut, stapled, mended, scraped off and so on. As a true testament to the process, all traces are kept visible. The painting literally and figuratively leaves the frame with Carroll. The ‘natural’, almost colourless constructions that are reminiscent of the Arte Povera movement take all kinds of forms: paintings shaped like – but still paintings according to Carroll – (wall) sculptures, tables, boxes, hinged surfaces, light boxes … In every case the artist searches for the perfect composition – on the surface, in 3D or in depth – a painstakingly long process that is determined by experimentation and an unwavering commitment to discovering the new, no matter how much patience or effort it requires. Here and there something of text pops up which, thanks to the sparing and meticulous way in which it is employed, soon turns into poetry. Fragments of sentences are illegible “scraps” which, just like the other materials, merge into a new whole.
