Biography 简历
Cathleen Clarke (b. 1988, Chicago, U.S.A.)
Clarke gained her Bachelor of Fine Art in Painting and Drawing at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco in 2014. She now works and lives in Brooklyn, New York. Clarke had her first solo show If You Ever Make it Home in San Francisco in 2014. From 2011 to present, her works have been widely exhibited in San Francisco, Chicago and New York. She was selected to attend the NARS Foundation International Artist Residency in 2019, and took part in the virtual exhibition Speculative Interiors by NARS Foundation in 2020. The exhibition Cathleen Clarke: Whatever Hour You Woke There Was a Door Shutting at Fou Gallery is her first solo show in New York.
Clarke seeks for inspiration from old photos and used objects. She is interested in fading memories and hidden stories behind faces and scenes. Influenced by the literature of the stream of consciousness, she depicts sentimental moments with non-linear narration, and thus creates plenty of flexibility to arouse the viewer’s multitudinous thoughts and to resonate with the concurrence of their sensations. Faces with ambiguous expressions, empty rooms with used and worn-out items, and aimless moments in a lively occasion with many participants, are usually representative images in her paintings. Mysterious and nostalgic, Clarke’s paintings always easily evoke the deepest stirring from one’s most treasured past.
凯思琳・克拉克（b. 1988，美国芝加哥市）
克拉克于2014年在旧金山艺术大学获得绘画和素描的美术学士学位。她现在工作和生活于纽约布鲁克林。克拉克于2014年在旧金山举办了她的首次个展《如果你能回家》。从2011年至今，她的作品已经在旧金山、芝加哥和纽约广泛展出。她被选中参加2019年NARS基金会的国际艺术家驻地，并参加了2020年NARS基金会的线上展览《充满思辨的内部空间》。在否画廊举办的展览《无论何时醒来，总能听到关门声》是她在纽约的首次个展。
克拉克从老照片和旧物中寻找灵感。她对隐藏在面孔与场景背后正在消逝的记忆与不为人知的故事非常感兴趣。受意识流文学的影响，她以非线性叙事的方式去绘画那些情感丰富的时刻，并由此令画作有足够的灵活性与留白去唤起观众的多种思绪，并与他们的种种情感产生共鸣。神情模糊不明的面孔，摆放着旧物、人去楼空的房间，以及人多热闹的场合中某些散漫的时刻，都是她作品中的典型画面。克拉克的作品既神秘又怀旧，总是很容易唤起人们对自己珍视的一段过去的内心激荡。
