Burlington abstractivist Clark Russell has been creating art since graduating UVM in 1983. Solo exhibitions of Russell’s work have taken place in his hometown St. Louis, New York City; Vermont’s Fleming Museum, Flynn Center for the Arts, and Firehouse Gallery. While Riddleville’s literally figurative subjected objects may raise questions, Russell’s abstract constructs ask to be sensed rather than solved. Looking to overcome their own materiality and be free of associations, these artworks are not about something else but are actual themselves.
