About this artwork
These paintings are an attempt to create a new kind of landscape painting that is true to the strange and dangerous moment that we live in. Instead of simplistic picturesque tableaus of natural harmony, they present viewers with a world in which the delicate fabric of the natural world is overlaid with other kinds of information. Within lush imagery of earth and sky, Clayton Merrell introduces spatial and visual contradictions to create instability…
and awkwardness, creating images that are simultaneously beautiful and bewildering.

« 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. »
