JC McCarthy

McCarthy's mixed-media work emerges from smoldering earth tones and crimson depths, where ritualistic figures extend beseeching forms toward a luminous lunar presence. White-outlined hands and spectral faces rendered in vivid red create a primal choreography of supplication against a richly textured background. The proliferation of watchful eyes throughout the composition suggests ancestral witnesses to this ancient communion between terrestrial yearning and celestial influence. Through contrasting textures and McCarthy's characteristic patterning, the piece captures the universal human impulse to reach beyond immediate reality toward cosmic forces—transforming private devotion into a visual incantation where blood-red forms articulate what words cannot express to the silent, radiant moon.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
