from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lawrence Carroll (born October 26, 1954 in Melbourne , Australia - † May 21, 2019 ) was an Australian - American painter and object artist .

Carroll was born in Melbourne into an Australian-Irish family and grew up in California. In the 1970s he studied at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles and later moved to New York. He became known in Germany at the end of the 1980s when Harald Szeemann invited him to the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg for the exhibition “Einlicht” (1989) . In 1992 Carroll took part in documenta IX in Kassel. Lawrence Carroll was a professor of painting at the University of Venice .

The well-known "White Paintings" include works that are produced in different ways. The "Cut Paintings" are paintings from which a piece of canvas was cut out, which was then used again. "Golden Shadow" are made of canvas and wood, "Calendar Paintings" are attached to the wall in such a way that they resemble a book. "Sleeping Paintings" are large paintings made from different pieces of canvas.

Carroll did not give his nuanced monochrome paintings with titles, but stated what shaped their form: "Window Painting", "Insert Painting" or what they radiated atmospherically: "Light Painting", "Dust Painting", "Drinking the Rain".
