Carol Sutton (1945 | American Canadian)
Sutton is a multidisciplinary artist born in Norfolk, Virginia. Her work is noted for its colour and ranges from abstraction to a varied use of organic and architectural imagery. She received her BFA in 1967 studying at Richmond Professional institute and in 1969 she completed her MFA at the university of North Carolina. She later moved to Canada and while working received many grants and bursaries from the Ontario Arts Council. While in Toronto she completed sculptural collaborations with contemporary musicians. Her work at the time was inspired by Anthony Caro and Helen Frankenthaler and had received positive review from art critiques including Clement Greenburg. She eventually returned to the US, living in New York and focusing on painting rather than sculpture. She became well known for her large scale abstract acrylic works, which were painted on canvas laid on the floor, and was noted to be like lyrical abstraction. Her smaller works, made of paper, took on more unusual structural forms.
