Timothy J. Clark — Biography



 

Known for his landscapes, portraits, and interiors in watercolor and oil, Timothy J. Clark’s work is represented in the permanent collections of several major museums including Maine's Farnsworth Art Museum, the El Paso Museum in Texas, and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C.

Jean Stern, Director of the Irvine Museum in Southern California and a noted authority on American art, has commented, "Timothy J. Clark, one of the finest artists of this time, is among my favorite painters. With a fidelity to his own artistic vision, he paints in the rich traditions of Sargent and the American Impressionists. His masterful drawing, heightened sense of color and light, and comprehensive compositions testify to decades of dedication as an artist. His sensibilities range from quiet and poetic to vigorous and emotional."

Will Barnet, N.A., has observed, "Woven through Timothy J. Clark's paintings are unique combinations of visual and emotional stimuli....His sense of space, light and composition combine to create graphic tensions which intrigue beyond the beautifully-painted forms of his subjects."

Clark's recent awards include the William A. Paton Award at the National Academy's 175th Exhibition and the President's Award at the National Arts Club's Members Show in 2003 in New York City. Last fall, his work was represented at the Allied Museum in Berlin, Germany.

A faculty member at the Art Students League in New York, Clark has also taught at the University of Hawaii and the Worcester Museum in Massachusetts, as well as teaching at the National Academy School in New York at various times, including 2004. He serves on the Alumni Board of the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California, and maintains studios in Capistrano Beach, California, West Bath, Maine, and New York City.
