C. Clinton's acrylic painting "Sprit Map 2", is a 48 x 50" abstract painting in blue- green, white and subtle interference gold tones of shimmering water. The intuitive play with color- pouring, dripping, troweling, wiping, and layering paint are the actions of the painting process that brought the “Spirit Map” pieces into being. This body of work sits at the intersection of intuition, process and reflections. The pieces in this series evolve as a call and response process. The images are filtered through memory, feeling, ideas and materials. They are an attempt to express a sense of awe and wonder often sparked by surprise, or ephemeral moments of beauty. In this series figuration and abstraction coexist, as the dance of spark and flame, concept and form - multiple ways of speaking the same idea - describe the light, articulate the sensation of a place or moment. The intent of these paintings is to reflect beauty and be window to spirit.
"Sprit Map 2" is unframed, signed on the back and lower right edge.
