Closely Observed: Paintings by Christopher Clamp

December 16th – March 3rd || 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. || Morris Museum of Art

In this recent body of work, I explored the power of the commonplace and the drama created by the juxtaposition of objects to other, related objects. Some paintings are simple and playful, while other paintings are many-layered. Their meanings are personal to each viewer, and careful inspection reveals elements of narrative. The paintings may evoke nostalgia, connecting the viewer to a memory or to a place long forgotten. I want to engage viewers in dialogue and encourage them to look deeper into themselves and their personal experiences—from the place where they started, to where they are now. 

Christopher Clamp’s work is represented in many public, private, and corporate collections, including that of the Morris Museum of Art. He is represented by the Jerald Melberg Gallery in Charlotte, North Carolina.
