(PRWEB) December 1, 2003 --Abstract Neoluminist artist and designer Carol Pentleton, of Glocester, Rhode Island, recently signed an exclusive agreement with ArtVisions, of Bellevue, Washington, to make her unique art and design extensively available for licensing for the first time. According to Neil Miller, President of ArtVisions, Carols striking images, while serious art, are colorful and fanciful, and will enhance a wide range of products. For example, I envision her delightful designs on a series of 'high-end tableware".
Her richly hued and expressive images reflect the subtle but vibrant possibilities of color. Influenced by the light-filled expanses of the Luminist school of painting, Carol's abstract images evoke levitation, bubbles in space-time, magnetic fields, hidden passages, or deserted places waiting for an event.
Carol thinks of her work as a way of entering into synergy with the cosmos and with the collective human unconscious. She often starts with motifs that appear to her in recurring dreams, developing them in a counterpoint between austere forms and complex coloration. As she works, she enters a flow state in which time stops and anomalies such as levitation and synchronicity can take place. This flow takes the form of improvisation, inspired by her experience as a jazz singer, around color gradations and the tension between elements. Luminous shapes begin to rise, glow, and vibrate, aligning themselves into a visual narrative that also creates an illusion of sound and movement.
