Carl Warner
Carl Warner’s bodyscapes intricately arrange human forms to mirror natural landscapes, revealing a profound connection between humanity and nature. These compositions blur the boundaries between self and environment, presenting the body as an integral part of a larger whole. Warner’s work challenges perceptions of perfection and prompts reflection on how our relationship with our bodies influences our connections with others and the world. He views the body as a map marked by the scars of life’s journey. Whether cared for, abused, adored, or neglected, these marks offer a unique form of portraiture that abstractly reflects our inner selves. Warner’s bodyscapes invite viewers to explore this dynamic relationship and celebrate the human body as a landscape of wonder.
