"Le fondateur du musée d'Art Contemporain de Montréal, décrit admirablement le Carsonisme"

Par : Guy Robert /1993

<< En ma qualité d'expert mon impression initiale, en observant avec grand plaisir un ensemble important des oeuvres mêmes de l'artiste, en fut une de fraicheur, de dynamisme, de rythme: fraîcheur et vivacité de la palette, dynamisme et variété des compositions, rythme qui anime chaque segment des oeuvres, un peu comme dans le meilleur jazz,...>>
<< aucune étiquette des- ismes bien connus dans la pagaille de l'art contemporain ne semble pouvoir y adhérer, et je devrai donc me résigner, d'ailleurs avec grand soulagement, à nommer ce style : le carsonisme! >>

CHARLES CARSON... a DISCOVERY

Guy Robert described in 1993 the step of the artist as follows: The impression of freshness and energy that emanates from Carson’s works comes in part from the brilliance and purity of his colors, harmonized in rhythmic juxtaposition by graduates strokes of brush or palette nearly always on the diagonal or in large ellipses given air by interstices of white. It is also fascinating to see how the artist, without having recourse to the artifice of perspective, gives his work depth by innovatively creating an illusion of continuous rustling on the surface. There is a shift in the visual space and a mobility in the planes due to the energetic and harmonious dissociation of the masses involved; from whence comes this inimitable rhythm animating each work.”
