About Carson Collins

I am a visual artist using mostly acrylic paint on canvas. I’ve been working on something that I call The Ocean Series since 1978. The Ocean Series could be described as a Remodernist response to the late work of Mark Rothko.

    Lovely. Reminds me of when I lived in FL, sitting on the beach at Ponce Inlet. Awesome release of the medium. I get what you mean about the stillness and meditation.

    Its a testament to your integrity as an artist that you are exploring something for thirty years. A subject like this is after all infinite… I salute you

    this reminds me of staring at the ocean for a long time and being hypnotized by the changing light and seeing it all as molecules moving and being to that

    love the colors you used! I keep wanting to get up close and check out the texture and wonderful gold color you used and see the layers, (my old computer screen, reminds me I’m viewing in cyberspace). Your images of the ocean are amazing! I love all of them and they make me miss the beauty of the ocean and it’s solitude, but then again your pieces remind me of the even greater ocean of solitude inside of us.

    It was named after a song by ‘The Clash’, off of their immortal record, “London Calling”.

    It’s Death or Glory – it can’t be just another story.

    Thank you for noticing.
