Collection: WILD GOOSE

Carl Clark has practiced at Interact Center for Visual & Performing Arts since 2016. Known for beautifully stark landscapes, almost all of Clark's paintings feature a bold, wide-open sky. Some pieces reference specific images that Clark observes online and in books, while others represent imagined spaces. "Depending on what I am drawing, it could have an emotional, social, or political role as a part of it," he has said.

Clark has presented work in exhibitions throughout the Twin Cities, including We Are Not Disposable (2020), Randomland at The White Page (2019), and Groundswell at Artspace Jackson Flats (2019). Clark’s work is in private collections in both the United States and abroad. When not painting, Clark enjoys taking walks around a lake near his home.
