Summary

An important book to learn about the work of an artist who uses the traditional technical resources outside the usual patterns, which creates an expression of contemporary art deeply poetic and human reality, linked to the most enigmatic and complex. The painting of Carroll (Melbourne, 1954), physically and metaphorically evokes the mystery and complexity of everyday life, far from the ways and aggressive colors, is akin to Giotto knew that represent people, animals, landscapes, gestures of his time with simplicity and concreteness, which Morandi, who used all his life poor models, covered with powder to dissolve shapes and colors trope defined. Carroll creates works that express a universal human reality so strong, vital and at the same time elusive and enigmatic front of each claim of clear answers and dogmatic readings.
