The Bacon Free Library’s statement about the show:
Carlos has developed a signature technique that employs a sharp edge to create clean straight lines that extend the limits of his subjects, adding drama and energy and a bold recognition to each painting. His use of shadow plays an important role in his work, enhancing the contrast between the darkness and his vivid colors.
Carlos doesn’t simply paint the still life subjects he sees, but the dream-like gestures that he feels. Working with familiar compositions, he hopes to create artwork that conveys not only the visual reality of his subjects, but the vibrant extension of energy into their surroundings.
Carlos Santiago is from Caguas, Puerto Rico. He obtained his BFA in Fine Art from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. He subsequently worked for ten years as a design professional in the fashion industry in New York City. Now, Carlos lives and works in Boston, Massachusetts.
