February 24 - March 30, 2024
From Ro2 Art:
“Ro2 Art is very excited to present At Home in this World, an exhibition of new paintings by Dallas-based artist Carroll Swenson-Roberts. The exhibition will open February 24, 2024 and remain on view through March 30, 2024, at Ro2 Art Gallery, located at 2606 Bataan St., Dallas, TX, with an opening reception to be held February 24 from 7-10pm.
Carroll Swenson-Roberts creates lush, verdant worlds populated by women and woodland creatures in complex, highly-detailed paintings and drawings for her exhibition At Home in this World. Walking plays a central role in Swenson-Roberts’ painting and drawing practice, as both inspiration for her depictions of natural landscapes and through the physical application of watercolor over large stretches of paper. In her process, she creates richly saturated color environments with watercolor that are then slowly built up to reveal landscapes and interiors. Details are worked with paint and drawing materials to conjure woods, grasslands, and hills filled with delicate leaves, branches, and grass blades. Serene, contented characters, including lounging women and drowsy cats, exist within the abundant, flourishing environments. In the midst of their quotidian actions, Carroll Swenson-Roberts reveals that there is striking beauty, mystery, and fantasy in the quiet moments of the everyday. “
