Carbee's vision displays a Mediterranean senuality together with a quirky sensibility and a waggish dollop of subversiveness. The New-England-born artist's transatlantic education and individualistic irreverence results in abody of work that is irresistibly engaging. Embracing both figurative and abstact, collage and sculpture, examples of work on display include objects as diverse as handcrafted jewelry, a paper placemat created for Burger King, and paintings made in the ocean surf. With an artistic lineage that can be traced back to Surrealism, Carbee's work resists classification, inhabiting an unique space that alchemizes the familiar into the visionary and fantastic.
