CHRIS CLAMP: 12X12X12

Jerald Melberg Gallery is pleased to present a series of twelve 12-inch paintings by Chris Clamp. These new paintings continue the artist's explorations of both realism and object portraiture. 

Chris Clamp has a singular and poignant vision which derives primarily from his love of family, inquisitiveness, and keen interest in sometimes quirky, sometimes whimsical, but always personal objects which he renders with great skill. The clarity of light and pureness of color that Clamp achieves in his paintings give them a surface that is both beautifully crafted and uniquely his own. Deceptively simple, it does not take long for the viewer to discover, and revel in, the complexity of surface, composition, and layers of nuanced meaning.
