Carol Salmanson
Carol Salmanson is a Brooklyn-based artist working with light. She uses optics, lighting technologies and reflective materials to create installations, wall pieces, and sculptures. Light’s singular spatial qualities allow her to build evocative worlds with color and shape. Her work with LEDs and reflective and transparent materials ranges from the organic to the architectural, and frequently incorporates its materials into the work’s form: wires become lines, transparent and reflective sheeting become spatial illusions; LEDs become objects of various shapes, sizes, and colors.
Recent projects include the large-scale window installation Water Bubbles in the windows of the Constructivist landmark White Tower in Yekaterinburg, Russia, and the sculpture Tri-Quadular Cone, on the lawn in Summit, NJ. Salmanson has created window installations for Station Independent Projects, Time Equities’ Art-in-Mixed Greens Gallery, in New York. She has had solo and two-person shows at several exhibition spaces, including Slag Gallery, Station Independent Projects, Brian Morris Gallery, the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, and Storefront Bushwick, Brooklyn, in New York.
Group exhibitions include Lehman College Art Gallery, Dumbo Arts Festival in Brooklyn, and East/West Project in Berlin. She also curated “The Language of Painting” at Lesley Heller Workspace in New York City, and will …
