One Hundred and Thirty-Eight Abstract Paintings, Three Modern Sculptures, Nine Portraits and Three Sets of Perspective
John Carter's expansive work layers acrylic paint, paper, synthetic hair, and gel medium onto canvas to create a densely textured surface that simultaneously evokes multiple artistic traditions. The piece challenges conventional categorization by collapsing diverse genres — abstraction, sculpture, portraiture, and perspective — into a single unified field of visual experience. Through its exhaustive and methodical title, Carter invites the viewer to question how meaning, form, and artistic identity are constructed and perceived.
