This event has ended.

Clic Gallery presents TABULA RASA by New York City-based painter Harry Hancock, an exhibition of plein air oils that contemplate some of America’s most sublime and mythic natural landmarks. Painted during a 10,000 mile road trip that took the artist through the wilds of America --from the Rio Grande to Yosemite through the Oregon dunes -- TABULA RASA presents a glimpse of a serene, golden world unsullied by mass media’s touch. According to the artist, “I exercise and develop my observational skills to challenge my own blindness to my environment. Naturalistic painting is a way of maintaining autonomy over my own eyesight, in a culture where simplistic commercial images insert themselves into our brains at every juncture. My art reflects my own independence from conventional, conceptual and industrial art through loyalty to the visual, a shunning of modish fads, the use of handmade canvases and paints, and my choice of classical subjects.” TABULA RASA opens May 17th and will remain up through May 31st.
