#91 SQUEAK CARNWATH artist, painter, print maker, Connecticut Independent 20th Century

Squeak Carnwath, *1947, is an artist, painter and printmaker based in Oakland, California. She will be showing with Jane Lombard at the Independent 20th c, exhibiting her rarely seen works from the 1990s. We're talking how Squeak discovered her love for making art as a young girl through her curiosity for the materials surrounding her. She would empty her mother's kitchen cabinets and create big pictures on the kitchen floor, resulting in her first art experience. Growing up on the east coast, the family was moving a lot due to her fathers job, who would support Squeak's artistic talent by bringing back all kinds of art supplies from his business trips. Squeak reflects on her determination and the rebellious act of becoming a woman artist in these times, as well as what it takes to make art on a psychological and material level. Having gone through numerous painting classes at different times in her life and years of training at different universities, she realized that for her the true revelation lies in doing and experiencing for herself. Her art touches on life without imitating it but questioning it, dwelling upon it, not to find answers but to address things and topics that are meaningful to her . Squeak is not interested in replicating what she sees, she considers painting as kind of a „spiritual extension of the soul". Carnwath's works are a hybrid between recognizable images, text and abstraction, sometimes imitating materials to the point of trompe l'oeil. 38 min., recorded July 2 , 2024, language english, artist portrait by Kurt Fishback Your host: Instagram: @independent_hq @squeakcarnwath @janelombardgallery @voicesonart @van_horn_duesseldorf
