Vivid Colors, Playful Titles

clark-derbes-here-2015

Clark Derbes at BCA Center in Burlington

The abstract constructions of BCA’s 2015 Barbara Smail Award winner, Clark Derbes, combine the vernacular of Louisiana craft and folk art with Op-Art and geometric pattern-based painting. Derbes’ use of vivid colors, playful titles and sincere execution collapses the cold distance of modernism to highlight the humanity behind the construction of an art object. Through June 25, 2016.
