About the Item

White Paint Splatters - Large Scale Textural Photograph Detailed macro photo by Bill Clark (American, 20th Century). Clark has taken a photograph of heavily painted concrete that has been scratched, creating a variety of patterns and textures. The paint is mostly black, tan, and yellow. Presumably this photo was taken in San Francisco. It is labeled "Byzbee" but most likely the artist meant to write "Byxbee" - the name of a street in the Ingleside neighborhood. He considered these type of photographs his "erratics" like the boulders dropped in Yosemite by receding glaciers, he discovers these remnants of color on the streets of San Francisco. Unsigned, but acquired with a collection of the artist's work. Unframed. Paper size: 42"H x 40"W Shipped rolled in a tube. Clark's photography involves the examination of hidden details of urban life transformed into aesthetic objects, he transforms the mundane to art, elevating both the subject and the possibilities of photography. Clark continues to exhibit his art in many galleries. Artists statement: "My photography involves the examination of hidden details of urban life transformed into aesthetic objects. In the tradition of minimalist artists whose focus is on context, it is texture that facilitates the dialogue between the natural and the man-made world. Metal is harmonized with wood, deteriorating paint takes on the significance of a volcano, sunset or rainstorm. I am interested in transforming the mundane to art, elevating both the subject and the possibilities of photography." He considered these type of photographs his "erratics" like the boulders dropped in Yosemite by receding glaciers, he discovers these remnants of color on the streets of San Francisco.
