Caro Nilsson
Caro’s dream-like, impressionistic landscapes pull the viewer into a specific place that feels outside of time. Gestural marks eddy beneath swaths of color-shift or tactile embroidery thread. Her paintings straddle the line between real and imaginary- understanding the notion that everything is always both. Caro paints primarily from memory, focusing more on the way a place felt than the facts of how it looked. In this way, memory morphs and heightens the shapes, shadows and colors of her landscape- blurring the facts in a way that feels more honest and true to the experience that it came from. At its heart, Caro’s work is about a personal relationship with landscapes, and all of the human and non-human influences and presences within them.
