Clive Tyler Solo Exhibition

Join us for a solo exhibition by Taos, NM artist Clive Tyler! Using his unique Impressionistic approach to soft pastel, Clive brings to life the landscapes of the mountainous southwest.

“I wish to share the outdoor experience that I have had with nature and my interpretation as an artist with a representational impressionist point of view. I am painting the experience, not a reproduction of the view.  I want to have the viewer want to step into the painting, look around the corner, look up at the aspens, feel the temperature of the day, sense a feeling of the time, hear the sounds of leaves and a the thunder of a distant storm. Through color harmony, pastel pigment, texture and edges, and with a strong concept, good design and composition, I convey this to the viewer and evoke some memories or desires.  When viewers say,  “I know where that is” or “I feel like I want to walk in there with the aspens” or “I wish I was there” that is a successful painting to me.”
