C.T. McClusky: Circus Surreal

 

C.T. MCCLUSKY: CIRCUS SURREAL
SEPT 17 – OCT 24

C.T. McClusky worked as a circus clown and spent the winter seasons of 1940-1960 at a boarding house in Oakland, California. Working with found materials, he completed 53 collages on shirt cardboard incorporating foil, string, photographic illustrations and cutouts from animal cracker boxes. His vignettes from circus life are candid, nostalgic and strikingly surreal. This oeuvre was discovered in 1975 by John Turner–then curator at the Museum of Craft and Folk art in San Francisco.

ARTIST DEBUT
ABIGAIL FRANKFURT

A self-taught artist, Frankfurt utilizes visual and tactile free association to create powerful mixed media collages; unique “maquettes” that are ultimately translated into large scale photographic prints.
A central concern in the artist’s practice is the intersection of image and writing; the hybrid territory where both art forms meet.

LEOPOLD STROBL
NEW WORKS

Strobl always renders his drawings—or the component parts of his paper collages—on carefully selected newsprint clips, which he then adheres onto clean drawing paper.
The underlying use of published media furnishes Strobl’s works with different pictorial facets and layers of meaning.

Dispatches From a Land of Forced Reacquaintance

By Adam Hanft
“You learn a lot about living with a schizophrenic during a pandemic. In this case, the schizophrenic’s presence is vibrantly present through his artwork, specifically a disturbingly precise, psychologically dense, and intermittently revealing pencil drawing.”

COMBINATION LOCK

by Abigail Frankfurt
“There is no plan and there are no lies. My ego—is asleep—I am in the moment—in a trance. The repetition of paint brush strokes. The shredding of different types of paper – I am no longer thinking, I am doing, and I am not even thinking about that.”
