Squeak Carnwath "Paintings"

February 8, 2025—May 3, 2025 | Reception Saturday March 15th, 4-6PM

James Harris Gallery is pleased to present the seventh solo exhibition by California artist Squeak Carnwath and her first in Dallas. Squeak Carnwath’s career has spanned five decades. She employs a distinctive blend of contemporary art strategies from 1970s, including New Image painting, Conceptualism and Process Art. The artist explores a highly individualized visual language that she derives from the history of art and personal associations, molding a dialogue that is at once static and ever changing. Carnwath’s has developed a unique style of painting that is known for its diaristic and pictographic elements to evoke imaginative explorations into the mind. Her paintings are an investigation of our collective and individual responses to representation and memory. She uses words, object images, pattern, and stunning color to speak about the body and mind in a metaphysical ablution of paint.
