Abstract Artist
Marcus Carter
Exploring life's essence through an abstract lens from New York City's East Village
About the Artist
Four decades of experience shaping abstract expression
Based in New York City's East Village, Marcus Carter creates paintings that explore life's essence through an abstract lens, employing a vibrant palette, symbolic imagery, and elements drawn from four decades of experience with diagnostic imaging and various technologies.
“My work is driven by a deep sense of empathy toward humanity and an unwavering faith that kindness will triumph. This conviction is mirrored in my art, as I draw inspiration from the masterful works of Basquiat, Beckmann, Kandinsky, Klee, de Kooning and Miró — artists whom I greatly admire.”
“I spent most of my adult life working in diagnostic imaging and aspects of that life are evident in some of my art — transforming the hidden structures of the human body into abstract landscapes of color and form.”
“It is my aspiration to impart to the younger generation that a bright future awaits them. Don't hasten the journey to adulthood; rather, relish your youthful years and channel your energy into enhancing the world around us.”
“That's a profoundly moving approach to your artistry. It's clear that you channel deep empathy and reflection into your work, transforming the often harsh realities of human experience into something that can be seen, felt, and understood on a visceral level. By capturing the essence of those souls and their stories, you're not only creating art but also bearing witness to their experiences and sharing them with the world.” — Collector
