Thank you for sharing valuable information. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a complete way of writing? I have a presentation incoming week, and I am on the lookout for such information.

Good Press for Victoria Carlson

"I was also impressed with the humerous watercolors of middle-aged contortionists by Victoria Carlson, which simultaneously mocked and empowered their middle-aged subjects."
Mark Van Proyen, Artweek, review of Carney Art at Bedford Gallery, Walnut Creek, CA

"Victoria Carlson morphs and contorts the human figure through watercolor vignettes in which myth, fantasy, comedy, history, nature and the everyday collide. Her characters peer out through twisted limbs, inviting the viewer into their tragicomic misbehavior."
Elisabeth Sussman, Curator and Sandra Gilman Curator of Photography, Whitney Museum of American Art, Guest Curator, Art on the Edge Juried Show, Museum of New Mexico, Catalog Essay

“Victoria Carlson’s watercolors, for instance, depict dreamscapes no one show, not even Cirque du Soleil, could ever reproduce. Three of the Santa Fe, New Mexico artist’s paintings for the “Carny Art” exhibition depict a female contortionist whose act is competing with far more bizarre spectacles...”
Kelly Vance, East Bay Express, Events, Review of Juried Group Show, Carney Art, Bedford Gallery, Walnut Creek, CA

“Carlson borrows the contortionist’s act as a broad metaphor for the extremes to which humans will stretch themselves in order to establish and maintain moral supremacy. Through subversive symbolism and silliness, she exhorts us to join her on the transgressive path-where she implies, we might actually encounter true
transformation...” “Exquisitely drawn and well composed, the images compel the viewer to leave off examining technique for intense rumination on content.”
Hollis Walker, Albuquerque Journal North, review of solo show, Bent on Sin, Parks Gallery, Taos NM

“If I’d had the guts to bludgeon the gallerist and steal just one work, it would have been Victoria Carlson’s Faith, Hope, Charity and the Tiny Pissed off Orchestra. You think the title says it all, but but it’s
really the extra limbs, delicately rendered watercolor udders and, of course the wee people which sets it apart.”
Zane Fischer, Santa Fe Reporter, review of Tomorrow’s Drawing Today
Traveling juried group show, Turner Carrol Gallery, Santa Fe, NM

“...but Victoria Carlson’s tiny watercolor titled Mr. President, Are You Sure It Was God Speaking To You? proves that neither good painting nor cutting satire is dead.”
Elizabeth Cook-Romero, The New Mexican, review of The Political Show

“I am most curious, as is painter Victoria Carlson, about who this madman-vandal is or was, and what was in his head. Her Cut-Story is a large, mixed media work depicting a man’s-the madman’s-naked back, stained like an immense bruise. In his left hand is a knife, and his head is the vandalized copy itself of “The Gay Academic” (edited by Louie Crew, ETC Publications 1978) The figure looms in a Caravaggio-like blackness that heightens its haunting weirdness.”
Tom Collins, The Albuquerque Journal North, review of Insight out!

“Santa Fe watercolorist Victoria Carlson insists she has a hall pass with no expiration date-at least when it comes to her art. Trying to pigeonhole her is tougher than finding a parking place downtown at lunch time, but let’s just say that if you’re looking for a really apt analogy, consider pairing the Marquis Chimps, with the Marx Brothers in a Fellini Film. The result might be this series of strange, surreal and even zany watercolors.”
Robert Nott, Pasa Tiempo, review of Parks Solo Show

“And last, but not least, my best of show goes hands down to Victoria Carlson’s three bizarre, creepy watercolor miniatures, particularly Waiting for my Special Friends which looks like something from a perverse Beatrix Potter Story for adult kids. Weird and absolutely exquisitely executed.”
Tom Collins, The Albuquerque Journal North, review of Juried show, The Harwood Museum, Taos, NM
