Caitlin Carney

Otis
2022

Caitlin Carney is a California-based artist living and working in Los Angeles. Caitlin’s artwork represents her relationship to the world around her through an abstract lens. She employs color, light, space, and shape to recreate qualities of light seen in natural environments. Caitlin’s work references light and landscape through the use of color and concerns with tactile materiality and surface illusions. One must move around her paintings to observe them: close and far, appearing and receding, visible and invisible. Caitlin enjoys pushing the limits of color and technique, with an ever-evolving palette and method.
