Carlson Hatton
at Barrett Art Gallery at Santa Monica College
- Carlson Hatton, Random Neurons Firing, 2014
Carlson Hatton’s immense and powerful exhibition of mostly mixed media drawings on view at the Barrett Art Gallery at Santa Monica College is both fantastical and compositionally complex. Working in a variety of media including oil, pastels, watercolor and pencil, Hatton’s drawings are endlessly inventive as each of the many images function both as discreet object but also as an indispensible fragment of a much broader and comprehensive visual tapestry. The power of Hatton’s practice rests in precision and a near fanatical attention to detail as images merge and meander, converge and recede in a hypnotic sort of arabesque.
