Known for beautifully stark landscapes, almost all of Carl Clark’s paintings feature a bold, wide-open sky. Working from reference images, Clark approaches his paintings like a patchwork of flat color. He applies pigment in columns and rows, filling expansive spaces with meticulous, measured strokes. When asked what he would like people to know about his work, Clark says, "I wanted to pass time."
Clark has presented work in exhibitions throughout the Twin Cities, including We Are Not Disposable(2020), Randomlandat The White Page (2019), and Groundswell at Artspace Jackson Flats (2019). Clark’s work is in private collections in both the United States and abroad. In 2021, he presented work in WILD GOOSE, a two-person exhibition with New York-based artist Jack Arthur Wood, Jr.
