An homage to Go North's Karlos Carcamo and Greg Slick

One of the missions of Beacon Artist Union has been to provide a vital link between the activities at bau and the community of Beacon. Every year bau opens it's doors to invitationals and this year it has chosen to exhibit three exceptional artists of Beacon, Karlos Carcamo, Greg Slick and Eleanor White. 

While we all miss Go North gallery in Beacon and the wonderful curatorial eye and aesthetic of Caracamo and Slick, they have not disappeared. The dynamic duo still curate together including last years well received curation at the Dorsky Museum. Carcamo and Slick are well regarded artists in their own right and have exhibited extensively including recent shows in Manhattan but curiously not together. Well, bau decided it was high time these two fine artists exhibited together and where better to show together than in their adopted  hometown of Beacon. 

Also showing at bau in the back gallery, Beacon's own Eleanor White. Eleanor's outstanding works have caught our eye at Beacon Open Studios for several years in a row now.

 

Karlos Carcamo

His artistic practice involves a multi-discipline approach to art making 

that incorporates a broad spectrum 

of high and low cultural references. He use this conceptual framework 

as a means to make work that reflects his own personal subjective experiences while also commenting on issues related to contemporary culture at large.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Greg Slick

Is a multimedia artist. Slick attempts to find and formalize a personal and socially critical point of view in abstraction. His work deals with themes that range from everyday observations of human nature to intellectual queries and issues of global and historical significance. Stripping away the inessential and showing only what is indispensable, Slick lays down forms and colors taken from a constantly evolving lexicon of imagery that, on many levels, owes much to influences ranging from crowd dynamics to Chinese calligraphy, from street art to Tlingit iconography.
