Beau Carey: Brightness Bound
October 3–November 15, 2025
Visions West Contemporary, Denver
Visions West Contemporary is thrilled to host Brightness Bound, a solo exhibition of works by Beau Carey, opening October 3, 2025, 6-8 pm in Denver. Based in Albuquerque, Carey is known for his immersive landscape paintings that reflect both physical encounters with remote environments and a deep questioning of how we perceive and represent space.
In environments where traditional landscape conventions break down—where there’s no atmospheric perspective or stable point of reference, Carey challenges inherited ways of seeing. His compositions are built from memory and shaped by the concept of notan, a design principle that balances dark and light. Beginning with cut-paper silhouettes drawn from remembered geographies, Carey distorts, mirrors, and reconfigures these fragments into patterns that reflect how we actually experience place: fractured by movement, time, distraction, and emotion.
His paintings collapse multiple perspectives, horizons, and timelines into a single image. Forms appear as afterimages, shapes repeat and unravel, and spatial logic bends. The result is work that suggests continuity is an illusion—and that our perception of the world is far more dynamic and unstable than traditional landscape painting allows.
The exhibition will run through November 15, 2025, and the gallery is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10:30 am-5:30 pm.
