"Gallery at the Belcourt presents The works of Caryn Cast & Casey Tanner
Upon arrival to this great country, Caryn Cast and Casey Tanner began to capture America as only these two minds can. The rich colors, the blues, reds, whites. "This is a country forged in the fires of hardwork", writes Tanner in his autobiography Teach a Man to Fish and He Eats for Life. This sampling of Cast and Tanner's work draws from Cast's distinct Second Period, in which many of her pieces can be described as paintings of people or things. American ideals are captured in these works that are inspired by things and people you are likely to see around here.
In a 2006 interview with Source, Cast states, "It is the working man and woman that produce the things that we see every day. It becomes difficult to see the things that are done by those who don't work."
Tanner, in coming months, will be taking it to the next level while Cast will continue to keep it real."
