From a childhood living in different cultures and in different parts of the World, Carl Janes has developed with a global eye and an acute understanding of our human connection. Through a disciplined pursuit that follows current interests he constantly explores new ways of communicating within a continued development. His work digs in to the discussion of our contemporary human condition and concentrates on manifesting a positive reality. Constantly identifying restrictions and limitations in order to move beyond them, Janes seeks to affect our collective consciousness by creating structures that enable self-realization and encourage a dynamic being.

Janes’ formal education was spent in different contexts and  broadened by extensive personal travels. Explorations of The Self have been enriched by friendships that cross cultural divides and experiences that vary from transformation in sacred spaces to bearing witness to active war zones.

Achievements include grants and awards, festival and panel discussions, and a steadily growing interest from publications. Selected to represent his home city of Atlanta, he was presented as a culture generator and an example of why young artists should chose Atlanta as their city to live in.

Carl Janes recently completed a one-year residency in Beijing, China. He lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia.
