About the Item
Nancee Clark grew up in Jacksonville, Florida, with its then lush forests, raw beaches, the St. Johns River and the perfumes of the paper mill and the Maxwell House Coffee plant. Following a colorful high school experience, she attended the University of Florida where, studying with her mentor, Hiram Williams, she earned a B.A.A. Degree with Honors and a Master of Fine Arts degree.
Her work has been supported by two State of Florida Artist Fellowships; a visiting artist residency at the Studio Art Center International in Florence, Italy; a residency at the Vermont Studio Center; the Blumenthal Foundation residency at Wildacres in Little Switzerland, North Carolina; and she received the President‘s Award in Painting from the University of Florida.
Clark’s paintings have been exhibited across the United States, extensively in Florida, and in Monte Carlo, Italy and Japan. These international venues include the “XVth International Exhibition of Contemporary Art” in Monte Carlo presented by Prince Ranier and Princess Grace, the Prefecture Museum at Chiba in Tokyo, and the Studio Art Center International in Florence, Italy.
She taught in the Fine Arts Department at University of Florida for three years, then was appointed to the Santa Fe College faculty earning tenure there. In 1995, she joined the Ringling College of Art and Design faculty, where she taught until 2016.
STATEMENT:
In my paintings I imagine an altered and sometimes awkward space in which the observed and the observer overlap. They are enigmatic narratives about parading time, cycles and absurdities allegorizing our movement through physical life and knocking against the depth and awareness of the spirit within human experience.
I work with a personal assemblage, populating my strange spaces with a synthesis of human figures and animals - animals who confront or frolic. I have an intimacy with my subject matter, and the work is always about the hand. Combining drawing and painting, my process builds rich lyrical surfaces of line, brushwork, density, and color.
The paintings sometimes evoke a thrill like a still from a Fellini-like charade, or like a psychological carnival ride with flashing frames of human folly. With wicked humor, I expose the artifice of our social hierarchies and illuminate our search for higher dimensions of truth beyond the limiting facade.
Discovery is sometimes funny, and I have found laughter to be a vital part of the evolution of my painting. You may laugh upon viewing the work, but just as frequently, you may squirm a bit, as you question familiar assumptions while being confronted by unexpected juxtapositions and ambiguities.
