Carin Kulb Dangot, "Flower Power"
Artist Statement
At this time of Covid-19 pandemic, I think about flowers in their simplicity, symbolizing kindness, compassion, and love, and paint them in the context of abundant gardens and as unique individuals. Flora historically has taken part in storytelling and myth: Pyramus and Thisbe under the mulberry tree, Hippomenes receiving golden apples from Aphrodite, Proserpina picking violets before her abduction by Hades, etc. Flowers cycle between life and death, regenerate in the spring after brutal winters, and remain resilient - a hopeful metaphor for human nature and our ability to heal. Each painting from the “Gardens” series is another testament to nature and mankind.
Artist Bio
Carin Kulb Dangot, b. 1971, is a Brazilian abstract painter and sculptor. She began her career as a food engineer and then a food designer for film before bringing her love of mixing, melding, and inventing new forms to the world of paint, color, volume, and mass. Dangot's artwork emphasizes the physical properties of materials via experimentation and other intuitive processes. She is interested in paint materiality and plasticity on various surfaces–such as canvas, aluminum, and mylar- 2D and 3D.
Dangot's work has been exhibited in NYC , in Amherst, MA, and in São Paulo, Brazil. She is the recipient of the Leonard Rosenfeld Merit Scholarship and Lloyd Sherwood Grant from the Art Students League. Dangot was recently accepted into the New York Foundation for the Arts Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program in 2020. Dangot currently lives and works out of New York City since 2010.
