Carter is a New York based artist working in photography and drawing to construct portraits, stand-ins, dummies and permutations of male stereotypes that empower form and style through beards, hairstyles and disguises. He graduated with an MFA from the University of California at Davis in 1997, received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1992 and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 1994. Recent exhibitions include: 'Rebus', Gallery Paule Anglim, San Francisco (2004); 'Before, During and After', Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco, (2004); 'Being There', Derek Eller Gallery, New York (2002); and 'Artist of the Month', Artists Space, New York (2001). A solo show of Carter's work will open at The Richard Dadd Gallery in St. Paul Minnesota in June, 2004.
