Carla Dimitriou

September 15 - October 31, 2008

Opening Reception:

Wednesday, September 17, 5 to 8 p.m.

Dimitriou's new work incorporates spiritual and iconographic imagery, textual fragments, and a cast of animal characters into complex images that examine human belief structures.  The textures of encaustic are particularly suited to Dimitriou’s aesthetic, allowing her to layer book pages, fortune cookie texts, and photographs into the painted surface.  Carla Dimitriou is a graduate of Cornish College of the Arts and the Vermont College of Norwich Univesity.

An artist of rare intelligence, she mixes empathy, ethics, and more than a dash of humor to create visually sumptuous images that provide ample food for thought.
