Artist Statement:
A New York City native
residing in Toronto,Paul J.
Carroll between periods of
travel in North America and
the Caribbean, has absorbed
and transmuted sensibilities
of the urban eye to emerge
with stylizations of vision
which speak directly of the
fabric of our
times.Information redacted by
elements of time or
intent;stressed,abstracted,repe
ated.obscured and
recreated;blend rhythmically
into new denotations of
compressed reality upon his
canvas.
Informed by the view of the
city structures;Carroll
interprets graffitti as"a form
of expression which combines a
childlike application with
bold and often complex
statements" and sees a
distortion in billboards
as"new information is
constantly added over old.The
process culminates in the
abstraction of information,
creating a deterioration of
fact."Emotive exaggeration and
emphasis is amixed to"layers
of compound images "with
"peeled away "segments and
unified with painterly skill
to present the viewer with "an
array of abstracted forms and
images which build a
thoroughly exciting and
inventive whole."...
