Lawrence Carroll

Lawrence Carroll's untitled work exemplifies his signature minimalist aesthetic, combining oil and wax on canvas mounted to plywood with exposed staples that make the construction process itself part of the composition. The muted, layered surfaces reveal a meditative quality, as the wax creates a translucent, skin-like texture over the paint, evoking themes of time, memory, and fragility. Raw and unassuming in its materiality, the work invites quiet contemplation, blurring the boundaries between painting and object.
