Piece description from the artist
This painting is a good example of my efforts to paint something, without painting it. If the values and temperatures are right, adding just enough details to make the object or scene read is a really tough process. It’s an exercise in discipline and choice, purposefully manipulating light, depicting only what light does to an object (rather than depicting the actual object itself), seeing the drawing and construction through the mess of layers and layers of paint… to paint something by not painting it. It’s how you take an otherwise everyday, commonplace scene and transform the light and movement into another realm. You see this every day, but the magic is quite elusive, hiding just beneath the surface.
Christopher Clark specializes in oil paintings of many subjects: romance, dancing, music, Italy, animals, and cityscapes. His impressionist style is compelled by bold brushwork, brilliant colors, and a luminous sense of light.
Christopher Clark has studied art his entire life, ever since he was a boy watching Bob Ross painting shows on TV (that wacky guy with the afro painting "happy little trees"). His art studies and travels have taken him all over the world in pursuit of culture, art knowledge, and painting subjects.
Christopher's favorite subject to paint is light itself, meaning anything becomes a beautiful subject if the light is stunning. Christopher's paintings are collected all over the world, and he is available for commissions of all kinds.
