About James Carlin (1906 - 2005) [excerpt from Exhibition brochure of Miami Arts Center] born June 15, 1906 in Belfast, Ireland, James Carlin became a noted painter in mod-realist style of genre, figure, landscape and still life. Mediums included oil, pastel, watercolor as well as stained glass and graphics. Watercolor was a specialty. Reviewer Michael Gabriele that "stained glass represented the most enduring aesthetic influence in Carlin's work. In many of his paintings, his use of color, line and underlying patterns of dark and light echoed the look of stained glass." Although his painting style was basically representational, Carlin incorporated bold color designs and abstract elements that taken by themselves would be pure abstraction.
