Seth Clark's solo exhibition 'Passing Through' at Paradigm Gallery showcases his exploration of decayed houses through textured collages and drawings. His latest works add limbs to his architectural pieces, injecting an element of urgency and playfulness. Influenced by the decay observed in Pittsburgh's suburban row houses, Clark employs found materials to create layered textures that reflect deterioration. Recently, his artistic focus has shifted towards conveying hope, inspired by fatherhood, suggesting joy can emerge from chaotic circumstances even in decay.
Clark's new works, which incorporate limbs to his previously still architectural forms, exemplify an infusion of playfulness and urgency amidst decay.
His collaged paper paintings and drawings leverage materials found in decaying houses, showcasing layering techniques that signify both deterioration and resilience.
Emphasizing the idea of growth and renewal, Clark's artistic evolution represents a shift from mortality to hope, finding joy in chaotic environments.
As the artist has become a father, his recent creations reflect a newfound motivation to highlight the potential for beauty even in decay.
