OPENING: Friday, April 2nd, 6-9 pm (in conjunction with the NoDa Gallery Crawl)
EXHIBITION: April 2nd – May 29th, 2010
For well over a decade, CTE has had the pleasure of representing the cubist sculpture of James Clark. A legendary NoDa Arts District resident, James incorporates the emotions and experiences that bind humanity together in his wood constructions. A selection of small table top studies to life size nudes from the past 30 years will be on exhibit. James received his BFA at the Rhode Island School of Design and his MFA from Cranbrook. His work can be found in the collections of Dettra Flag Co., Annin & Co., Mele Manufacturing Co., and Russel Wright Associates.
In addition to Clark’s sculpture, CTE will be presenting a selection of works from the gallery collection. CTE believed in the growth and promise of several artists and has acquired their works over the past 20 years. The gallery is pleased to share this eclectic collection, which includes notables Jennifer Bartlett, Howard Finster, Robert Kushner, and Wolf Kahn.
