Biography from Jerald Melberg Gallery:
| A native of Leesville, South Carolina, Christopher Clamp received his
BFA with a concentration in painting from Winthrop University in
2001. He was recently honored by being included in the
prestigious biennial "Re-Presenting Representation" at the Arnot Museum
in Elmira, New York. He has also been honored with inclusion in
the 2001 South Carolina Triennial at the South Carolina State Museum.
Christopher Clamp's deeply personal images are influenced by simple yet
poignant childhood memories. The commonplace toys and objects featured
in his paintings are artifacts gathered in the process of recollecting
childhood experiences, particularly the hours spent with his beloved
grandfather, amidst his grandfather's collected "treasures" and tools.
The objects are meaningful to the artist and to his execution of both
content and the carefully executed textures within the paintings.
The viewer is invited to bring his or her own personal history to the
narrative that unfolds within each painting. |
