Details: In the course of his sixty-year career, Mark Clarke (1935-2016) achieved recognition as a preeminent Pacific Northwest artist. Karin Clarke Gallery’s new exhibit, Selected Paintings from the Estate of Mark Clarke, draws attention to his wide artistic range by showcasing three different categories of works: a splendid selection of the Oregon landscapes for which he became so well-known, several figurative pieces such as faces and farmers market scenes, and a series of abstract, experimental pieces highlighting his gift for composition. The pieces, created between 1960 and 2015, range in size from small to large and include acrylics, his favorite medium, as well as watercolors and collages. Many of the frames were built and painted by Clarke himself. Three striking new metal sculptures by guest artist Jud Turner make a delightful addition to the show.
