> STATEMENT

Sabine Carlson

American, born 1960 in Cologne, Germany


Sabine Carlson's current paintings explore themes of power and vulnerability. Trees are claiming spaces that are traversed by helicopters or certain animals known for their mobility around obstacles.

Sabine Carlson re-directs enigmatic qualities inherent in the ordinary.  While retaining their recognizability, details taken from everyday occurances become conduits for socio-political aspects of our time.

Her work is included in private, public and corporate collections in Germany, Italy, in the Netherlands, in the United Arab Emirates and in the United States.
