“Artist Carolyn Swiszcz has a knack for capturing on canvas the quirks of a given place and people, and for teasing revealing details from the drabbest edifices of contemporary American life.
Using an ingenious amalgam of painting and printmaking techniques, she draws her subject matter from the unremarkable structures that populate every town: a superette, an aging strip mall, a mom & pop motel on the outskirts of town, an unlovely corporate headquarters. Swiszcz’s distinctively streamlined, vivid candy-colored renderings of these everyday locales prompt the viewer to see the telling particulars hiding in plain sight among the humble, mass-produced trappings of the urban landscape.”
