Painting

Cynthia Carlson is an American painter whose practice centers on color interaction and geometric abstraction. Working primarily in acrylic and oil, she constructs compositions of interlocking planes and chromatic relationships that investigate perception and spatial illusion. Her work emerged within postwar abstraction and engages the legacy of color field painting through a systematic, architectural approach to composition.
