« I want to make a painting that conveys how beautiful our world is. I want to make a painting that conveys how broken our world is. I want them to be the same painting. »
Clayton Merrell is an award-winning American artist whose works have been widely exhibited on a national level, as well as in Cyprus, and Cuba. The painter, draftsman, and printmaker's landscapes present viewers with images in which harmony is complicated by conflict, and order is threatened by chaos. Within the comfortable imagery of earth and sky, Merrell introduces spatial and visual ruptures to create instability.
