The Andrew Edlin Gallery presents 'The Flowers We Gathered,' a solo exhibition featuring the works of Carroll Cloar, an influential Southern artist. This exhibit marks his first solo appearance in New York in nearly 35 years, displaying 14 paintings and drawings primarily from the 1960s and 1970s. Cloar's Southern roots deeply infuse his art, illustrating themes of childhood joy juxtaposed with Southern masculinity, while his experiences at the Art Students League and with lithography shaped his distinct style. Works like 'Day Remembered' reflect Cloar's artistic evolution from personal to wider cultural depictions.
Cloar's journey reflects the influence of New York's artistic environment on his southern roots, merging personal memories with broader themes of masculinity and cultural identity.
The Flowers We Gathered encapsulates a blend of joy and melancholy, showcasing Cloar's mastery of color and form while informing viewers about southern life.
