Jimmy Flower from Fort Worth weekly writes an article about Carol Ivey's new exhibition, In a Good Light, opens to the public on December 6, 2013 at Artspace 111. Ivey has been obsessed with natural light and how it illuminates still life for over four decades, she adores northern light for its coolness and clarity. Darting between realistic rendering and abstract expression becomes the signature of Ivey's work. "The friction of those two elements gives many of [Ivey's] pictures a slightly off-kilter, even surrealistic twist." Flower comments.
