黑料不打烊

Duarte Sequeira is pleased to announce Thrasherville , the first solo presentation of Carter Flachbarth, both with the gallery and in Seoul.

Flachbarth's artistic practice is centered on the idea of illusion, where he explores the relationship between space, light, and form. His work delves into the mechanics of illusions, engaging the viewer's perception to unveil the inherent deceptive nature of paintings. Often featuring sullen figures with highly expressive features, his paintings create narratives that delve into the psychology of the subjects through cinematic actions and gestures. Flachbarth's approach to the history of figurative painting combines traditional techniques with contemporary tools and imagery, drawing inspiration from the digital age and its wide accessibility to media. Raised in suburban America, Carter's connection to culture was primarily shaped by film and digital media, influencing his perspective on people, art, and the broader world.

In Thrasherville, Carter Flachbarth presents a new series of works that serve as autobiographical narratives. These narratives depict the gradual disintegration of a relationship and capture the complex emotions that evolve within and between the two individuals as they navigate this period of transition. Flachbarth combines elements of cinematic references with personal experiences to unfold vignette-style stories that express the mental and emotional states involved.
