Previously an engineer, Joe Carter left the field to pursue his life long dream of painting. He received his BFA from the University of Utah in 2000. Now his engineer background carries through to solving the problems of naturalistic painting, one step at a time. He works to record, as faithfully as possible, relatively small objects that he collects for their quality of being considered common, mundane or worthless though they reflect the very culture that considers them so. His approach to realism is illusionistic, with carefully blended colors giving a greater sense of 3D modeling extending behind the picture plane. In all of his images, Carter seeks a sense that these objects are in their “own world”, where there is a kind of “daydream existence,” a space where the painting takes on a more precious value than does the object. A careful caressing of old objects, places and memories. There is a sense of the nexus between misty dreams and popular market culture of decades past. This is “Pop Nostalgia”.
