SUMMARY:the undercommons : New Work by Brandon Carlton
DESCRIPTION:Arts + Public Life presents the undercommons\, the first solo exhibition by painter Brandon Carlton. The exhibition explores the complexities of contemporary Black life through Carlton’s distinct approach to stylized figuration. Drawing influence from Alex Katz\, David Hockney\, and Jordan Casteel\, his work engages with portraiture and spatial composition to evoke intimacy\, distance\, presence\, and longing. \nCarlton’s paintings consider the undercommons as a site of fugitive sociality—an ungovernable space where collective life unfolds beyond dominant structures. His figures occupy liminal environments\, neither fully contained nor entirely free\, reflecting a continuous negotiation of belonging\, agency\, and historical memory. Inspired by Casteel’s attention to everyday Black life and the layered surfaces of Katz and Hockney\, Carlton’s work reimagines the aesthetics of presence\, using gesture\, color\, and space to suggest ways of seeing and being that resist fixed narratives.
