I am constantly investigating different ways of compressing multiple moments into a single scene, a common conceit of miniature painting & Sienese imagery. I also can't help cramming in references to Norse mythology, and other narrative sources that are visual, written, or sung. You know how Dr. Frankenstein is basically a kleptomaniac filching limbs and organs to build his monster? I do that but with stories and images that I love and want to see in the world.

I am very proud to be an active member of the artist run, non-profit space, Tiger Strikes Asteroid Los Angeles (TSA LA)

I'm also a member of Gallery ALSO and a founding member of High Beams

This year I've completed several large scale exchange projects which I'm excited to share with everyone. For more information, please check out B-LA Connect and 5X5

If you want more information about any other stuff, please feel free to email me at carlbaratta@gmail.com

I no longer check my Instagram account- I quit in 2019 (HURRAY) and rarely check Facebook (also HURRAY), so check here on my site or the multiple projects I've worked on linked above.

Thanks so much & stay tuned!
