Norman Carton Figurative Paintings
American, 1908-1980
Norman Carton was an American artist and educator known for Abstract Expressionist works in oil on canvas. While this was his most recognized style and medium, Carton was primarily a colorist and also worked as a muralist, classically trained portrait and landscape artist, sculptor, theater set and fabric designer, and illustrator as well as in a variety of abstractions. He has a large museum collection and commercial history, showing in more than 20 solo and 135 group exhibitions."
He was awarded numerous awards, prizes and fellowships for painting. In the 1930s he was part of the WPA creating murals. In the 1940s, he founded a fabric design and production firm which was featured in Interiors magazine, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Women's Wear Daily. These were hand-printed fabrics and his clients were Nina Ricci, Hattie Carnegie, Lord
Taylor, and others. In 1962 Norman Carton opened his own Dewey Gallery in NYC.
Carton's works continue to be included in present day exhibitions including at Quogue Gallery entitled 1950s and 1960s Works on Paper,, at the Nassau County Museum of Art entitled Blue in 2020 as well as Energy: The Power of Art in 2019, and at the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in 2019 entitled Inspiration
Exploration.
Norman Carton's 2020 solo exhibition at Quogue Gallery was reviewed by Charles A Riley. A representational portion of Carton's papers which include correspondence, writings, notes, exhibition catalogs and sketchbooks were donated to the Smithsonian Archives of American Art where they remain.to

About Artist
Abiodun Nafiu Azeez is an accomplished artist with a diverse background in contemporary painting, particularly Osogbo art. However, his true passion lies in abstract expression, where he seeks to promote African art, culture, and nature. Influenced by his artist father, he paints to preserve memories and connect with broader societal concerns.
Abiodun's artistic style is characterized by the abstraction and simplification of human compositions. He employs vibrant oil colors, often focusing on primary colors that transition into secondary and tertiary hues. His subjects stand out against neutral backgrounds, creating a harmonious balance in his paintings. A prominent feature in his works is the use of red, blue, and yellow tones, subtly blended to emphasize form and shape.
His artistic journey includes training under renowned bead painting contemporary artist Jimoh Buraimoh...
