My View From Seven Feet is NBA All-Star Joe Barry Carroll's musing on the mythical qualities some want to assign to a person standing seven feet tall. Carroll expresses his "view" in the form of figurative and abstract paintings that are celebratory, reflective, and hopeful. Each is paired with a short narrative that further conveys the artist's ruminations on relationships, legacy, sexuality, success, sports, culture, responsibility, and more.
He adds, "What flows from my pen and brush feels natural to me. I am never sure if the images create words, or the words move me to images. I am unable to tell precisely what determines my composition of colors, shapes and themes. Perhaps everything is forming at the same time, resulting in a complete story."
Paintings and narratives from the My View From Seven Feet exhibit also appear in the coffee table book of the same name.
The exhibit is curated by Tara Y. Coyt. Find out more about Joe Barry Carrol at JoeBarryCarroll.com.
