Clarke reflects her personal experiences as a woman in her large, colorful oil paintings. Of her series depicting women, Clarke says, "I am using the traditional odalisaue, but instead of distorting her, I try to express her multi-dimensionality as a competent and intelligent human being. " I am influenced by the color-field artists and have used their concepts to reflect the role of women in our society." A free reception for the artists will be held at the Kimball on Sunday from 3 to 5 p.m. The public is invited. |
