The Knot, Alex Carver’s third solo exhibition at Miguel Abreu Gallery, presents twelve paintings built through frottage, monoprinting, and brushwork. Beginning with low-relief sculptures placed behind canvas, Carver drags oil paint across the surface to capture their traces, evoking imaging technologies like scans or X-rays. Inspired by anatomical studies and medical imagery, the works form dense, vibrating surfaces where impressions emerge and dissolve within shifting pictorial space.
