Jack Clift
Flashing Light- Tin and oil 37 X 50

1982

About the Item

Tin and Oil Jack Clift created a signature style utilizing corrugated metal in 1978 while on a trip south interviewing folk artists. He was inspired by their use of all materials and started using tin as a medium, rather that traditional canvas. Clift shaped tin in many unique ways and created multi sectioned paintings. In 1999, the exhibit "Jack Clift: Artist, Friend, Teacher" a 20 year retrospective of his works, was organized by the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Clift attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and graduated in 1952. After graduating, he assumed a teaching position at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, where he taught for 36 years. He passed away in 1999 at the age of 73.

  • Bailey
    By John Gibson (b. 1958)
    Located in Lincoln, MA
    John Gibson is a native of Massachusetts, born in Boston in 1958. He attended the Rhode Island School of design (where he earned a BFA in 1980), before earning his post-graduate degree from the prestigious master’s program at Yale. Gibson had his first one-man show at the University of Massachusetts in 1984, and he began showing in group exhibitions in the Boston and New York areas in the late 1980s. In the early 1990s Gibson’s paintings began to focus on pyramidal compositions of spheres resembling children’s playground balls, decorated in the manner of colorful soccer balls. Executed in oil on wooden panel, these pieces began to attract generous critical praise for Gibson from the pages of the Boston Globe, the Partisan Review, and the New Yorker, among others. Gibson’s paintings are filled with subtle yet provocative disjunctions, which challenge the viewer’s initial perceptions of the pieces. While these images would seem at first to be fairly simple atmospheric, realistic renderings of colorful balls, a closer examination will reveal that the surfaces of Gibson’s paintings are deeply scored by the artist in geometric patterns that sometimes conform to, and in other instances defy, the outlines of the spheres rendered in paint. An invisible substructure is suggested in these incisions, which also serve to reinforce the physicality of the painting. Some pieces also include incised and/or painted suggestions of shadowy architectural spaces (arches, hallways, shallow niches) in which the balls are placed. The scale of the objects rendered is ultimately unclear: the balls could be of the large, inflatable type, but they alternatively suggest the density of much smaller decorated wooden croquet balls...
