Roundup 2: The Best Artists This Week on artreview.com by David Shariatmadari

Finally, here's a work by Graham Carrick that I particularly like: it's apocalyptic but luxuriant - a very Blakean vision. Graceful and exquisitely composed, it could be a fragment of a much larger classical painting. (See if you can guess which of my paintings this refers to, there is no prize).

Graham Carrick - Dereliction series - Written by Garry Hunter for Conflict and loss


After injuring and almost losing his hand in a building accident, Graham Carrick did not paint for six years. He has recently curated a series of group shows in London and in March 2007 became the fifth member of Fitzrovia Noir an arts collective documenting the demise of the former Middlesex Hospital in central London.
    Carrick paints from memory a bloodied glove abandoned near the hospital mortuary or the view into the wards of the East Wing from his former flat on Cleveland Street, where both subject and observer avoided direct eye contact in that most London of ways. Viewers of Graham Carrick's paintings are confronted by images that seems familiar but sometimes difficult to place, like a half remembered dream. There is a hint of the journey you are to be taken on but the destination is left for the viewer to decide. Their own experiences and interoperation complete the story.

     The work creates the emotion of a moment grabbed, analysed and re-presented in a fresh way. The results of this process make for paintings that demand your attention and offer up a new view of something which prior seemed so familiar.

Graham Carrick's natural scenes are at once whimsical, arresting and disturbing.
