Marin Museum of Contemporary Art is proud to exhibit works from Squeak Carnwath, one of the leading California artists of the last thirty years. Squeak has received many prestigious awards and has been turning the mundane into thought-provoking art since 1972. You are invited to hear this renowned artist present a free and informal dialogue to discuss her work collaboratively on November 8 from 4-5:30pm with reception to follow.
Squeak’s collage esthetic is inspired by everyday activities and thoughts and are layered and removed and overlayed. The text, patterns, and identifiable images in her paintings carry such meaning and is meant to slow the viewer and bring thoughtfulness. Her paintings are both a thing and an action, physical and also mental. Squeak Carnwath is very bold and transparent as her inner-thoughts are depicted on canvas. Living in the present is a powerful discipline and Squeak refuses to let the everyday moments pass by without notice.
Museum hours are Wednesday through Friday 11-4 pm and Saturday through Sunday, 11-5 pm.
