Artist Statement

I paint in a mood that is in line with my interest, or even fascination, with my chosen subject. I have a style that is emotional, vibrant, and contains a loud voice. My way of painting is a direct translation of how I see things in the world. My style is raw, and one could say, has a primordial element. What I say in my work is very important to me, and how I say it. I have my own unique and honest way of painting which resonates strongly with the viewer. My painting has abstract qualities to it, but also contains elements of the recognizable and familiar.

Missy Alister, freelance writer from the USA, after receiving the painting, Early Morning Dip (shown below):
 “Early Morning Dip, by the illustrious, fiercely talented, childhood hellion, Carl Parker.
 It now graces my workspace wall with its unfolding secrets and the unrestrained force of beauty."

Carl Bryan Parker is a painter whose works have gained him an international following.
