FROM COMMON HANDS STUDIO

Artist  Paul A. McClintock

Whidbey Island, Washington


 
 

 


multiple layers of
oil pigment,

applied to a

heavily textured ground...

...resulting in
immense depth,
transparency
and movement.


 
communicating
in the simplest of forms.....


tending away from the literal.....

minimizing the details.....

 
McClintock exemplifies this use of the abstract form and texture
as a conveyance of emotion and thought
.

 
 
 


The elemental quality of his art is like that of nature,
full of depth and texture.


Engaging the individual...

to meditate....
to contemplate....




 
 
A NEW DIRECTION

IND-RUST-RIAL

These works are an extension of McClintock's creative process that employ transforming and repurposing the ordinary into unique, richly worked visual objects.  Textural planes, industrial patination and found objects are used in these mixed media works.

Having spent his formative years in southern-Missouri amongst the lush and densely forested hills and scenic riverways, artist Paul A. McClintock has a deep-rooted spiritual connection to his natural surroundings and translates this spirit into his various artistic endeavors.

His natural instinct is to take brush in hand and express this vision into varied mediums, which continually unfold into a diverse aesthetic approach. These styles span from impressionistic representationalism to the allusional abstract.


McClintock's works and commissions can be found in private and public collections throughout the Midwest, New York, California, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Canada.

In celebration of Shamhuinn, the Celtic New Year, artists Susanne
Newbold, Paul A. McClintock, and Sandra Whiting bring together
their collective spirit and visions.  Sometimes literal, sometimes
implied, "Celtic Mysteries" is a show weaving together the depth
and richness of this cultural heritage.  Not only is Shamhuinn an
end of the Summer celebration and thanksgiving of the harvest,
the ancient Celts saw this as a half way state, or passage from
one world into the next.  It is the intent of the artists to
present a window into a long ago world that continues to shape
the thoughts, dreams and ideas of life today.
