Selected Comments on Timothy J. Clark’s Work

Will Barnet, N.A., has observed, “Woven through Timothy J. Clark’s paintings are unique combinations of visual and emotional stimuli….His sense of space, light and composition combine to create graphic tensions which intrigue beyond the beautifully-painted forms of the subjects.”

Dr. Lisa Farrington, award-winning author and art historian, writes in Timothy J. Clark: “Clark’s ostensibly forthright watercolors…not only are glittering in their execution – bathed in sunlight, swathed in shadow, shimmering with sure-handed yet expansive and textured brushwork on papers by Fabriano, d’Arches, and Winsor & Newton – but also embody the postmodern concept of art-as-idea. These are no ‘pretty pictures,’ but diffidently profound documents of human existence.”

Donald Holden, N.A., author, editor and artist, says, “Timothy J. Clark’s delicious watercolors remind me of the Italian word for a particularly fluent, graceful, and refreshing performance in any of the arts – sprezzatura, which means making a difficult task look effortless, like the relaxed, soaring leap of a superb athlete who has spent years preparing for this moment of triumph.”

Jean Stern, Director of the Irvine Museum in Southern California and a noted authority on American art, has commented. “Timothy J. Clark sees things ordinary people can’t. Clark, one of the finest artists of this time, is among my favorite painters. With a fidelity to his own artistic vision, he paints in the rich traditions of Sargent and the American Impressionists. His masterful drawing, heightened sense of color and light , and comprehensive compositions testify to decades of dedication as an artist. His sensibilities range from quiet and poetic to vigorous and emotional.”
