KEITH CLARK
Keith Clark, born in St. Louis, Missouri, was raised in the small artist community of Brown County, Indiana. Clarkthen studied architecture at the University of Cincinnati,but also continued to hone his drawing skills. He practiced architecture and design in Washington, D.C., but always desired to paint again.
In 2004 Clark moved to Ft. Lauderdale where he discovered ArtExplosion and joined the Board of ArtsUnited, which inspired him to pick up his paintbrush again. He participated in local art shows and had his first solo exhibition in 2006.
At first glance, Clark’s paintings appear to be simple graphic compositions, but closer inspection reveals a depth of layer, color, and texture. Clark describes his work as post-expressionistic: “I like to pull the viewer into my paintings, to discover emotional elements in the voids, not through the forms themselves but through the texture of the paint, the voracity of the application, the layers of color, and the contrast of light to dark.”
