Clayton Anderson
Vintage Surrealist Composition - Precious Stones Abstract

circa 1970

About the Item

Highly detailed surrealist composition evoking tribal, abstracted carved stone-like shapes fitting together like a three dimensional sphere shaped puzzle, floating in a sky blue space by Clayton Anderson (American b. 1943). Textured plaster border around the edge of the piece. Signed "Clayton Anderson" along the upper left edge and on verso. Presented in a deep maple box frame. Clayton Anderson (American, b. 1943) studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and worked with Ben Kimihira, Walter Stuempfig and Hobson Pittman. He is a Visionary and surrealist painter and a member of the California Visionary Artists Group. Anderson has developed a number of visually distinctive painting styles. Although the stylistic elements in his art have varied, there has been a unifying factor consistently running through his paintings which reflects his deep love for the unique, spiritual alchemy that arises from the combination of Beauty and Mystery. Artist's Statement: "Over the years my Geminian nature has led me to develop a number of visually distinctive painting styles. Although the stylistic elements in my art have varied, there has been a unifying factor consistently running through my paintings which reflects a deep love for the unique, spiritual alchemy that arises from the combination of Beauty and Mystery. Since my childhood I've been strongly attracted to creative works which possessed this combination, and I've searched for its unique, potent presence through the vehicle of my art. When Mystery refuses to fully reveal its secrets, the thinking mind temporarily gives up and, for a moment, is quiet. When Beauty is observed the heart expands and presents awareness with with an exquisite energy. The combination of a quiet mind and an expanded heart offers the opportunity for an extremely rich human experience. one for which I look daily in my Art and in my Life."
