About The Artist
Carlson's work is rooted in portraits of place, with a strong focus on barns, old farmhouses, and other forgotten buildings. He is drawn to the familiar shapes of the agrarian landscape, documenting in ways that feel a little mysterious too. He pays particular attention to building forms, perspectives, and the land itself inspired by American painters like Fairfield Porter, Richard Diebenkorn, Lois Dodd, and Edward Hopper.
