White Performance

“Je suis l’espirit danseuse”
“I am the spirit of dance”

Art Rouge Gallery presents sculptures & paintings on glass and metal by internationally acclaimed visual artist Carson Case. Much of her work is abstract or surreal figurative and she often uses mythological creatures like dragon, phoenix and snakes as a manifestation of our internal song… whether grappling with suppressed desires or walking through fire to embrace our destiny. She also integrates in her art number theory, quantum field theory, and alchemy. Carson expresses herself through the visual arts, dance, music, and poetry with the pure perfection of the spirit.

“I mix modern and natural elements, because I believe we are becoming over-merchandized and disconnected from a needed balance with nature. Music and instinct tell me what to paint, what colors to use, what subject to explain. My brushes are nature!”

During the opening reception, that will take place on March 8, 2008 from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm at Art Rouge space in Wynwood Art District, Carson will present an interpretative dance performance on her new artworks. Her art will form part of the gallery permanent collection. Case’s experimental kinetic art is an erotically-charged visceral expression, and her interpretation of painting through dance is unique and powerfully intuitive.

“I dance and paint interpreting music prepared for the subject I wish to explain. I paint on recycled glass sheets, metal studs and straps, fabric, etc., with leaves, sea grass, seaweed, and my fingers and mix my paint with sand, glass chips, mud, tar, oil, plaster, and whatever else inspired me at that moment.”
