Carolyn Matulef
Sculpture
What makes art powerful is the capacity of an artist to make and extent the deeper and universal element of life, culture and society. The works of Carolyn Matulef are often ones of wonder, curiosity, puzzlement and resistance. The controversial and captivating nature of her pieces speak to her unique gift for capturing some of the powerful moments, and struggles of the human psyche.
While many of her works are expressive of internal conflicts, dilemmas and fear, others embody the existence and warmth of the human spirit. Others serve a more aesthetic and delightful function. Careful study and attention are the guidelines to experience the depth and dimension of Carolyn’s work.
