“In the circle of contemporary American landscape painters, Clyde Aspevig is widely regarded as one of the best. Working in the plein air style, Aspevig focuses on the inherent beauty of untouched and lightly treaded scenes in a unique manner that makes him a genius of contemporary Western Realism”

ART & NATURE TALK: CLYDE ASPEVIG


Red Lodge, Montana – On Saturday, June 8, 2019 the Carbon County Arts Guild will present Art and Nature; a talk by artist Clyde Aspevig. The program will take place at the Carnegie Library from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Come hear more about Clyde’s philosophy on art and nature. This free public event is a Hometown Humanities program funded by Humanities Montana.

For further information visit www.carboncountydepotgallery.org or call the Guild at (406) 446-1370.
​


Growing up in Montana has had a profound impact in the life of the artist Clyde Aspevig. In this talk Clyde will discuss the ideas associated with nature’s influence on the creative mind. Clyde’s work has been seen in numerous exhibitions and publications. From the article The Mind’s Eye by Robyn Peterson about Clyde’s work:

“His paintings of the West are not theatrical sets intended to reinforce regional mythology, but rather evocations of places that he perceives as already disappearing during his own lifetime, subjects worthy of both artistic and societal preservation. He considers his paintings as old friends and visual souvenirs of places experienced in his life.”

According to Clyde there is “an immediacy in being in the landscape, absorbing its uniqueness, light, terrain, coloration ... all inspire a reaction.”

About the Lecture:
"One of the biggest challenges artists have is to remain relevant to the times in which we paint. Holding the attention of the viewer long enough for them to become involved in the work should stimulate new ideas, and augment existing artistic beliefs. It is not always easy to balance the two in this age of acceleration.
I will use examples of my own work to help formulate ideas that will enable painters to think about different presentations that may make their work more unique. In a new world of digital imagery constantly bombarding the senses, the artist has to find ways of separating themselves from all the competing noise to remain relevant.
You might be surprised where this challenge might take you.
We will discuss some possible solutions, and look forward to a robust audience discussion."  - Clyde Aspevig
