Clive Barker Exhibition
Sloan Fine Art
This event has ended.
Although best known as a successful novelist and filmmaker, Clive Barker has been creating and exhibiting his paintings and drawings for almost twenty years.
In his deeply expressive paintings, Barker brings to life the landscapes and figures that inhabit his mind. His colors are bold, paint application thickly layered, and surfaces often scratched or sanded. The result is moody works that capture the emotion and mystery of Barker’s writing with color, texture and light.
During the exhibition, conceptual drawings for Barker’s upcoming film “The Midnight Meat Train” will be on display in the project room. These works are a rare glimpse at the artist’s process and the birth of many of the ideas and characters included in the finished film.
