ABOUT THE EVENT
Join us for an art talk with artist and San Joaquin Delta College professor Gary Carlos. His work connects the intimate scale of mark-making in art, with the monumental and collective “mark-making” that is visible all around us in our landscape. Growing up and living in the Central Valley, Gary is particularly interested in marks, patterns, lines, and shapes that are the result of agriculture and housing. He has always been interested in making the connection between any kind of mark that is the result of human labor, but that are also the result of society and culture: from ancient cuneiform to aerial views of orchards, the incised lines of an etching, to marks in mowed grass of rolling hills, circuit boards to suburban sprawl, and minimalist abstract compositions to large-scale farming.
