In Stanley Kubrick’s
2001: A Space Odyssey, David Bowman discovers the Jovian Monolith. He travels through a Star Gate of unknown space and time. The Star Gate brings Bowman to a replica of a Hotel Room. In this space, time seems to excel or jump toward the final days of Bowman’s life. Like a dream, he sees himself at older life stages of himself until he assumingly expires. Bowman is then reincarnated into a Star Child, who then transforms into a type of energy being.
Clarke’s subject matter is deeply personal: his thoughts, experiences, and feelings boiled down to images in his head. He approaches painting without an agenda, moving away from meaning-making and letting his subconscious filter his practice.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Clarke’s style could be described as Post-Impressionism. It is representational, but of emotional exposure rather than photographic surface. Nathan Clarke is a self-taught artist residing in Vancouver, British Columbia.
