Andrew Edlin Gallery is pleased to present this solo exhibition of artist Carroll Cloar (1913–1993). The presentation features 14 paintings and drawings mostly from the 1960s and 1970s and is the artist’s first NYC solo show in nearly 35 years.
Before he died in 1993, Carroll Cloar fashioned a flat, colorful clarity in images of simple figures set in American situations — schools, the road, and landscapes. Everything is slightly out of scale, which lends his art magic.

I stay open and allow myself be drawn to places and things that move me. The pictures reveal what I am seeking, a hidden story emerging from this land of ghosts, rivers, and sky. I will travel soon to other destinations and find inspiration there too, but it is here that the basis is formed.
