Beach Wording, paint, salt water, beach sand on paper, 18" x 45", 2012

Here's what people are saying:

 
"Hypnotic expanses of color, otherworldly illustrations, sculptural objects that defy classification. Carbee's vision displays a Mediterranean sensuality together with a quirky sensibility. The New-England-born artist's transatlantic education and individualistic irreverence results in a body of work that is irresistibly engaging. Embracing both figurative and abstract, collage and sculptural, examples of work on display include objects as diverse as handcrafted jewelry, a paper placemat created for Burger King, and paintings made in the ocean surf. With an artistic lineage that can be traced back to Surrealism, Carbee's work resists classification, inhabiting a unique space that alchemizes the familiar into the visionary and fantastic."
