EXHIBITION INFORMATION

Organized by The University of Lethbridge Art Gallery and curated by Victoria Baster and Tim Nowlin. The exhibition is divided between the Stride Gallery and the Glenbow Museum.

This exhibition of paintings and works on paper surveys the development of John Clark’s mature work from 1978 to his death in September of 1989. Deeply committed to representational painting after the impact of modernist abstraction, Clark’s work gradually and firmly reconciled a personal and representational subject matter to the notions of modernist painting. The works presented here trace the vital themes of Clark’s work by way of preliminary studies and experimental prints as well as finished drawings and canvases.
