Roadside America- Sneak peeks into the latest works by Angela Carlsen!

We are getting so excited for March 22nd...that's the day we launch new work by artists Angela Carlsen  AND Justin Lee! (more on Justin's show soon!) But TODAY...we thought we'd tell you a little bit about Angela's show and share some sneak peeks!

Argyle Fine Art is delighted to welcome Angela Carlsen home from her first adventure with her BARTER VAN (www.thebartervan.blogspot.com) . This is the first body of work that has come from her travels: a suite of works, all measuring 24" x 24", mixed media on metal, mounted on board....and even more luminescent in person! So so so so beautiful...makes you want to hit the open road yourself, doesn't it?

Angela even created these unique invites to the show...folded up like little mini-maps which we just received at the gallery...limited supply now at the gallery!




Here's what Angela has to say about the new works:

"Roadside America is the result of a five month road trip around the USA in The Barter Van. It's inspired by the golden age of the automobile, specifically the camping road trip. The images are mixed-media on aluminum and are a comment on taking the slow road instead of traveling interstate highways where the driver only sees the homogenous big box stores and fast food chains. This exhibition is representative of the way I saw the road less traveled in my search for the 'backbone' or 'real' experience of the American road trip."

Check out these teaser images below from Angela's show!
