Now at The Danforth Museum of Art: Carla Pagliaro’s ‘Passages.’
Carla Pagliaro has lived and painted in Livingston, Montana since the early 1990s. Following art school at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, she spent over a decade in Los Angeles working as a scenic artist in the film and television industries. Her large, immersive, canvases explore the dynamic relationships between reality and intuition. Pagliaro welcomes viewer engagement, musing:
“ I don’t think there’s a right or wrong way to look at paintings. The viewer responds either positively, negatively or not at all. I purposely give the paintings purely descriptive or numerical titles because I don’t want to direct what the viewer sees or feels.”
View, ‘Passages,’ now through September 5th at The DMA
