For the first time in forty years Clark Hulings is exhibiting in New York, NY. His newly created exhibition of 38 realist paintings, titled Timeless Beauty: Pursuing Life's Textures, is documented in an 84-page color catalogue available for $15 by contacting Morris-Whiteside Galleries, 843.842.4433. Artworks are also viewable at Mr. Hulings' website, clarkhulings.com.
Art lovers and collectors are encouraged to take advantage of this rare opportunity to view firsthand such a large body of Mr. Hulings' work at two venues. J.N. Bartfield Gallery, 30 West 57th St, New York, will exhibit the show from 8 to 24 May 2007, and hold an Artist's Reception and set-price sale of 22 artworks on Tuesday, 22 May from 6-8 pm.
From 29 May to 8 June 2007, the show will be on view at Morris & Whiteside Galleries, 807 William Hilton Parkway, Hilton Head, where, on Saturday, 2 June, a lecture about the artist takes place at 11:15 am, followed by a reception at 5:30 pm and live auction of 15 artworks at 7 pm.
Mr. Hulings is a world citizen who has lived and traveled extensively abroad. The theme for this exhibition is his recent travels to France, Italy, Spain, Romania, Mexico and the United States. His encounters with peoples from all cultures and walks of life have resulted in varied subject matter united by his love of light and texture.
Mr. Hulings' broad popular appeal is the result of consummate craftsmanship and sensitivity to what he calls "slices of life." By focusing his gaze on the pulse of humanity, he gives vision to the joy and sanctuary found in everything from daily rituals to the eternal interdependence of people, animals and nature.
Among the post World War II American realist painters, Hulings stands apart for pursuing his personal muse. He began his career as an East Coast portraitist and illustrator, but settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the 1970s, where he devoted himself to fine art. His paintings, which have earned awards from The Allied Artists of America, The Hudson Valley Art Association and the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, are also documented in two monographs: Hulings -- A Collection of Paintings (1976) and A Gallery of Paintings by Clark Hulings (1986, revised in 2006).
