Piece description from the artist
The Galleria of Milan, Italy is an enchanting walk of shops, restaurants, and bustling people, all moving beneath a glowing light, which filters in through thousands of windows in the arched and domed ceiling. For this painting I wanted to focus on light and movement, rather than specific detail. As you look at the painting up close, it becomes more abstract than realistic. The street looks full of people, yet I did not paint one single person. Playing with values and temperatures was also a goal, as the lightest value is in the coolest passage, and the darkest value is in the warmest, and they juxtapose each other across the painting playfully.
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.
