From Art League Houston:
“Art League Houston (ALH) is pleased to present And so it goes…, an exhibition featuring recent works by Carris Adams. Through a series of site-specific graphite wall drawings and large-scale painted collages, the two bodies of work point to disappearing pasts, precarious presents, and unknown futures. The wall drawings of steel billboard frame-like structures are minimal in color and function as part space activation and part backdrop for the paintings. The drawings invite viewers to look upon the ghostly structure and imagine what could have been there before; whether informing passersby of what to buy, who to believe in, what to listen to or who to deny. While the wall drawings are minimal, the paintings are maximal; overloaded in color, texture, mark-making, and fragmented language. Through additive and subtractive processes that enhance or disrupt the legibility, the works become conceptually multi-layered. Accented with tape, intentionally messy, and somewhat confusing, the paintings work in opposition to the wall. Together the paintings and drawings take on double or triple meanings as they seek to guide viewers to recall a place, image, or space through abstraction.”
