Carole Rabe is an oil painter whose interiors and still lifes are created from direct observation. Her immediate surroundings provide the imagery for her paintings. She is interested in the way light reveals and conceals forms, and how it influences the color of objects. Her compositions explore relationships—between shapes, values, colors, objects, and the rectangle of the canvas. Human presence is implied in her paintings.

Artist’s Talk: The Power of Limits
Wednesday, January 25, 10:30 am – 12 pm live.
Concord Art Association (www.concordart.org) for more information
The title of my talk, The Power of Limits, is from a book by Gyorgy Doczi. This idea—power through limits—has provided a strong foundation for exploration of my immediate surroundings through painting. Besides a talk, there will be a short demonstration of how one might use “limits” as a positive approach to art-making, and a hands-on, simple exercise in “limits” for the audience.
