Clayton Anderson Art
American, b. 1943
Clayton Anderson studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and worked with Ben Kimihira, Walter Stuempfig and Hobson Pittman. He is a surrealist painter and a member of the California Visionary Artists Group. Clayton’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 that 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 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 my Life.”

The Masque of Comus
Located in Atlanta, GA
"My work principally consists of deeply abstracted figure compositions--intuitive constructions that begin with random marks establishing larger masses of torsos, heads, and limbs in an undefined setting. The emphasis is almost purely on intuition. The figures are born of their surrounding environment, emerging only partially and fugitively from the layers of pigment.
A narrative is evident but never overt. A crown, a shield, a boat, a wheel. Though the subject has recently coalesced around my reading of Dante and Shakespeare, the settings remain extremely vague- a beach, an interior, a woodland. The paintings are, in the end, meditations on the relationship between the protagonists in a wordless drama. In my paintings, I use a cold wax medium combined with dry pigments, oil paint, and embedded fragments of burlap. The surfaces eventually build up into a dense, rugged terrain."
