Los Angeles.- Bert Green Fine Art announces their third solo exhibition of the works of Carl Ramsey, whose paintings are stylized takes on daily existence in and around Downtown Los Angeles. Loosely based on photographs he takes of people and places, these paintings are meant to be independent compositions which elicit specific feelings of place and immortalize a certain moment in time. Carl Ramsey was an illustrator for many years. He has always considered himself fortunate to have spent his youth in the then still semi-rural environs of southern San Diego County. At nearby Southwestern College (1964-66) he came under the guidance of an excellent art department faculty, including the conceptual artist John Baldessari, who suggested Chouinard Art Institute as a developmental next step.
