Capturing the beauty and volatility of the northernmost areas of the world, artist Marcia Clark exhibits her paintings from Svalbard and Greenland.
3/13/2008 :: The paintings reflect Clark’s recent travels to the Arctic. In 2006 she visited Norway’s Svalbard Archipelago and in 2007 she was in northwest Greenland as artist in residence at the Upernavik Museum. Her focus in this exhibition is on the forever fluctuating, mutating, and transforming nature of the polar ice.
“Ice, Iceberg, Baffin Bay,” shown above, was painted last spring in Upernavik.
“The large iceberg in the distance was there when I arrived,” says Clark, “and seemed as permanent and solid as a mountain until it suddenly disappeared a couple of weeks later.”
When: February 26 to March 22, 11am to 6pm Tuesday through Saturday
Where: Blue Mountain Gallery, 530 W 25th Street, 4th floor
