GC Museum-New Exhibition

Field and Stream By Clayton Colvin June 7 - August 22, 2012 Birmingham based artist Clayton Colvin uses his paintings as a means to explore and understand the vast array of every day experiences people deal with. His abstract and figurative style creates striking images of moments in time that are just ambiguous enough to allow the viewer to uniquely interpret each work in a way that has been shaped by their own experiences. The exhibition, titled Field and Stream, employs a range of mixed media, from acrylic to charcoal, as well as a vibrant palette of colors, to bring to life a variety of compelling and thought provoking images from the every day.
