George Morton-Clark
George Morton-Clark (B.1982) is known for his energetic paintings of spontaneous strokes, intense colors, and nostalgic cartoon characters. The manner in which Morton-Clark adds oils and spray paint onto his quickly drawn characters is reminiscent of abstract expressionist brushstrokes, inviting viewers to naturally explore and enjoy his work.
George Morton-Clark graduated from the Surrey Institute of Art and Design, and has presented his work at globally leading galleries such as the Opera Gallery in London and Miami, Eternity Gallery in Paris and Miami, and JPS Gallery in Tokyo. The artist has also collaborated with brands such as De’Longhi and Penguin Books.
조지 몰튼-클락(B.1982)은 즉흥적 드로잉, 강렬한 컬러 그리고 향수를 불러일으키는 만화캐릭터, 이 세 가지의 조합을 통해 에너지 넘치는 작품으로 인기를 얻고 있는 작가이다. 빠르게 그린 만화캐릭터 드로잉 위에 오일, 스프레이를 이용해 더해지는 과감한 컬러는 추상표현주의 브러쉬스트록을 연상시키기도 한다. 만화캐릭터를 추상적인 형태로 재해석하는 작가는 정해진 방식없이 영화를 보고 노래를 감상하듯 자연스럽게 자신의 작품을 받아들이기를 제안하고 있다.
조지 몰튼-클락은 Surrey Institute of Art and Design을 졸업하고, 런던과 마이애미의 오페라 갤러리, 파리 이터니티 갤러리, 도쿄 JPS 갤러리 등 세계 유수의 갤러리에서 전시하며, 드롱기, 펭귄북스 등 유명 브랜드와 협업 프로젝트를 진행했다.
