Hommage \u00e0 l\u2019immense talent de Charles Carson.<\/p>\n

Avocat de profession, j\u2019ai une passion pour l\u2019art qui a germ\u00e9 le jour que j\u2019ai achet\u00e9 mon premier \u00ab\u00a0Carson\u00a0\u00bb il y a pr\u00e8s de 25 ans d\u00e9j\u00e0.<\/p>\n

Depuis ce jour, la passion que j\u2019ai pour l\u2019\u0153uvre de Carson ne m\u2019a jamais quitt\u00e9. Au fils des ans, j\u2019ai acquis d\u2019autres de ses tableaux et j\u2019ai suivi son ascension fulgurante sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale avec grand int\u00e9r\u00eat. Je suis devenu sans contredit un adepte passionn\u00e9 de son \u0153uvre et, lorsque j\u2019ai d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 \u00e0 Calgary, je n\u2019ai eu aucune h\u00e9sitation d\u2019accepter l\u2019offre pour devenir son agent pour l\u2019Ouest canadien.<\/p>\n

Il y a quelque chose dans les tableaux Carsonisme qui va me chercher comme aucun autre artiste vivant n\u2019est capable de le faire. La juxtaposition des couleurs, distribu\u00e9es sur le canevas de sorte \u00e0 relever l\u2019\u00e2me cach\u00e9e du sujet. La profondeur des formes et des figures, qui nous r\u00e9v\u00e8lent leurs secrets petits \u00e0 petits m\u00eame apr\u00e8s plusieurs ann\u00e9es et des centaines, voire des milliers, de regards.<\/p>\n

Comment d\u00e9crire ce myst\u00e8re que je ne r\u00e9ussis pas \u00e0 discerner dans les \u0153uvres des autres artistes contemporains? Je ne serai pas aussi pr\u00e9tentieux pour vous parler de la forme d’\u00e9criture picturale unique de Charles Carson qui lui permet de se d\u00e9marquer des autres. Je laisserai le soin aux experts et historiens en arts pour d\u00e9cortiquer cet aspect du talent remarquable de l\u2019artiste. Je veux vous entretenir surtout sur l\u2019aspect \u00e9motif qui fait en sorte que je ne me lasse jamais de regarder et admirer ses tableaux.<\/p>\n

Prenons ces montagnes magistrales qui nous entourent. Je suis constamment \u00e9merveill\u00e9 par leur beaut\u00e9 et la force qu\u2019elles projettent. Depuis que j\u2019habite Calgary, je nourris l\u2019espoir d\u2019entrer un jour dans une galerie et d\u2019y trouver \u00ab\u00a0le\u00a0\u00bb tableau qui provoquera les m\u00eames \u00e9motions en moi que je ressens en randonnant ce magnifique paysage. Mais, h\u00e9las, malgr\u00e9 le talent ind\u00e9niable des nombreux artistes qui d\u00e9peignent les Rocheuses, ces merveilles de la nature r\u00e9sistent \u00e0 se faire capter sur une toile. Et voil\u00e0 la diff\u00e9rence avec Charles Carson\u2026\"Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n

Il y a des artistes de grand talent qui r\u00e9ussissent \u00e0 capter la beaut\u00e9 de ces montagnes, mais aucun d\u2019entre eux ne r\u00e9ussissent \u00e0 me faire fr\u00e9mir devant leur puissance comme c\u2019est le cas lorsque j\u2019admire un fond marin ou une sc\u00e8ne d\u2019automne d\u00e9peint par Carson.<\/p>\n

Je pense qu\u2019un artiste comme Carson, pass\u00e9 ma\u00eetre dans son art, l\u2019est parce qu\u2019il r\u00e9ussit \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir, \u00e0 voir, \u00e0 saisir, \u00e0 transcrire, puis \u00e0 communiquer sa vision du beau avec une rare sensibilit\u00e9, une sensation presque \u00e9pidermique, \u00e0 fleur de peau. Son sens de la beaut\u00e9, sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 s\u2019\u00e9mouvoir devant des choses simples, parfois invisibles pour d\u2019autres, font que Charles Carson per\u00e7oit la vie avec une acuit\u00e9 et une intensit\u00e9 telle qu\u2019il peut ensuite embellir notre vision du monde.<\/p>\n

Honoring the immense talent of Charles Carson.<\/p>\n

\"Inglewood<\/a>Being a lawyer by profession, I do not profess to be an expert in art. I do, however, have a passion for the arts that was born the day I bought my first \u201cCarson\u201d nearly 25 years ago already.<\/p>\n

Since that day, the passion I have for Carson\u2019s work has never diminished. Over the years, I have added to my collection of Carson paintings and I have closely followed his meteoric rise on the international stage. I have become an impassioned fan of his work and it was therefore without a moment\u2019s hesitation that I accepted the offer to become his agent for Western Canada.<\/p>\n

There is something in a Carsonisme \u00a0painting that moves me in a way no other living artist is able to do. The juxtaposition of colors, spread out on the canvas in such a manner as to unlock the soul of its subject. The depth of the forms and figures, that reveal their secrets little by little, even after many years and countless viewings.<\/p>\n

How can I best describe that intangible element that I fail to discern in the works of other contemporary artists? I will not be so presumptuous as to attempt an analysis of Carson\u2019s unique pictorial writing that sets him apart from the others. I will leave it to the art experts and historians to explain that aspect of the artist\u2019s remarkable talent. Instead, I will attempt to describe how the artist\u2019s work touches me on an emotional level that never diminishes in intensity.<\/p>\n

Take these majestic mountains that surround us.\u00a0 I am constantly mesmerized by their beauty and power. Since having moved to Calgary, I live in hope of one day entering a gallery and finding \u201cthe\u201d painting that makes me feel the way I feel when hiking in this beautiful setting. But, sad to say, I have yet to discover an artist who can capture the power of the Rockies on canvas. And therein lies the difference with Charles Carson\u2026<\/p>\n

There are a handful of gifted artists who have succeeded in capturing the beauty of these mountains, but none have made feel the immensity of their power the way I do when I contemplate an underwater scene or an autumn setting as depicted by Carson\u2019s brush.<\/p>\n

Carson has mastered his art quite simply because he has managed, as few other contemporary artists before him, to capture and portray his vision of beauty with a rare sensitivity. His ability to be moved by simple things, often unnoticeable to others, has shaped Charles Carson to view life with such acuity and intensity that our vision of the world is embellished as a consequence.<\/p>\n
