Event WebsiteAbout
Gustave Carlson's body of work is an exploration of the agricultural landscape, with a particular emphasis on barns, agrarian vernacular, and forgotten houses. In his paintings, Carlson creates scenes that feel both familiar and mysterious. His acute awareness of building shapes and perspectives, coupled with his commitment to landscape stewardship, positions his work as a form of documentation.
