Christopher Clark
"Memories of Exotic Places" Oil Painting

About the Item

Christopher Clark's (US based) "Memories of Exotic Places" is an oil painting that depicts a female figure juxtaposed with a busy city setting. Christopher has been an artist since early childhood, when he would watch Bob Ross on PBS and mimic the famed oil painter’s art with crayons. He considers himself a self-educated artist, with his studies ranging from personal training with contemporary masters, to classical academic art technique, with much inspiration from 19th Century art and the Impressionist Movement. Christopher lived in Italy for a time, immersing himself in Italian culture and art, which continues to influence his painting. His fan base has grown considerably since his return to the US, gaining the attention of Lucasfilm and Marvel Fine Art, which both signed him as an officially licensed artist in 2016. Other clients include George Lucas, Major League Baseball, Louisville Slugger, and Fender Guitars. Christopher’s painting skills are not his only talent in the arts. He has won several national swing dance championship competitions, and also studies tango and blues dancing. He has played guitar since the age of 12, and during his time as lead guitarist for a rock band, he opened for Blue Oyster Cult and Eddie Money, as well as headlined “the Whisky A Go Go” and “The Roxy” in Hollywood. Christopher has played trombone since high school, and for the last 20 years has played with all-trombone Christmas band in Orange County, California called the Balboa Bachelors, with whom he has played for the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade, Someone Cares Soup Kitchen, and the Hoag Memorial Hospital Cancer Center, as well as received a proclamation from the Mayor of Newport Beach for Service to the Community. Christopher continues to gain national attention, while remaining humble in the continuing effort to grow and improve his artwork. He currently resides in Denver, Colorado. The soul of a woman. The heart of a city. The introspective feelings of daily life in a bustling city. Memories of far off exotic places. A yearning to explore the world and see what treasures it has to offer. Experiencing the sizzling nightlife and dazzling lights of the world's great metropolises. All these sentiments and more await you in this epic explosion of new work by internationally renowned artist Christopher Clark. Never before has figure painting and cityscape painting melded together in such a manner as deftly executed by Clark. "Double Entendre is a term we use when one idea has two different meanings, or when two different ideas coexist simultaneously. With this new work, I invite you to be in two places at once, both exotic and familiar." - Christopher Clark
