An Exhibition of Recent Work by Glenn Clark

Island Mountian Arts Public Gallery is pleased to present In Search of the Picturesque, a new exhibition by visual artist Glenn Clark. This beautiful painting exhibition will take place from August 13 to September 12 2010.  Clark will teach a Plein Air Landscape painting workshop at the end of the show, from September 10 to 12.  The course will take place in and around Wells. 
Clark states, of his practice, “Painting outdoors allows me the freedom to explore the British Columbia landscape and every year I map out a couple of road trips, hope for good weather and set off in search of new paintings. It is from these journeys that the title for this show gets its name. This exhibition showcases two bodies of work, one created in my studio with acrylics on canvas and the other painted on site with oils on panel. These small panels provide both a historical document of my travels and the source material for studio works. I’ve found plein air painting can be a major adventure and when the going is good, it is pure magic.”
