Survey of the Visual Arts: Abstract artworks captivate at Wexner Center for the Arts

The Columbus Dispatch
Abstract form is explored in Nanette Carter’s exhibition, "Afro Sentinals." Carter was born in Columbus and grew up in Montclair, New Jersey, where she began taking art classes at the Montclair Art Museum as a child. Her collages are created with oil on mylar affixed directly on to the gallery wall with double-sided tape. The mylar is painted in various colors and textures lending a three-dimensional effect to her works. Gallery guide Dave Givler explained that Carter is very precise in recreating the works at each venue, giving a near identical appearance in each exhibition while being unique creations.
