Paul CaranicasPaul Caranicas is renowned for his realist oil paintings of monumental modern architecture, often depicted against a marginal landscape. He is fundamentally an “ecological artist,” painting the wastes of capitalism, such as abandoned bunkers, steel military structures, and storage facilities fallen into disuse and usually stationed against a body of water. These images point to the dangerous side of utopianism and its potential to erode the natural world. Caranicas was art director Juan Ramos’ partner from 1970 until Ramos’ untimely death from AIDS in 1995.
