Christopher Clark - You Never Get a Second Chance

The GSU Visual Arts Gallery is proudly presenting the graduate thesis exhibition of printmaker, Christopher Clark, from May 13th through 24th, with a reception on Friday, May 21st from 6:00-9:00 p.m.

With You Never Get a Second Chance, a series of elaborate, multi-layered screen prints, Clark conveys a sense of affection for the commonplace sights and everyday people of modern Midwestern America while engaging the viewer in questioning his or her own perception of common, casual nonconformity. As a lifelong resident of the Mid-western society depicted in these prints, Clark has an intimate connection with his subjects. In essence, he is presenting a self-portrait of a community.

Christopher Clark holds both Bachelor and Master of Art Degrees from Governors State University. As the founder of captivewerewolf.com, the co-founder of Feed Art Center, and organizer of the annual Littlest Print Exchange, Clark is actively involved in developing collaborative, real world and web-based projects designed to bring together artists to cooperate toward common creative goals.
