Description

Carissa Rodriguez' wall objects Green Curve and Limbs of the Pacific (Spirit Gate Orange), both from the year 2015, are part of a series of works that refer back to the formal vocabulary of American Hard Edge painter Ellsworth Kelly, one of the heroes of classical American abstract art. Cast in salt, Rodriguez adds an extra layer to these art historical references – connecting quintessential American painting to the world of the ocean and to cross-continental cultural spaces.
