Introduction

Welcome to the official Clarence Measelle Studio web site. The purpose of this site is to introduce a selection of Clarence Measelle’s paintings from over 600 works completed from 1972 to the present. Each thumbnail image represents one work from a series of approximately 5-40 paintings painted in a similar direction. Drawings, sketches, sculptures, and prints are not included in this survey.

This site is divided into 7 categories: Introduction, New, Recent, Archives, Studio, Exhibitions, and Contact.

New: A partial selection of new paintings completed since 2007. Most of the paintings in this selection are part of a series called “Ghost Tarps”. The “Ghost Tarps” are layered paintings on tarpaulin or cotton canvas with images that appear spontaneously during the painting process. Additional collaged and transferred images move the viewer’s eye around the surface. Also in this series are a number of embossed paintings like “Phoenix”.  

Recent: A selection of paintings completed in the last 10-12 years.

Archives: Paintings, mostly “Photorealist,” completed since 1972-1994.

Studio: Occasional recent photos of the 27 year old studio space.

Exhibitions: Includes a partial list of exhibitions and public and corporate collections. Private and/or individual collectors are not listed.

Contact is a page with an email form for anyone who wishes to contact the Clarence Measelle Studio and/or requesting to be added to the mailing list. In the future all contacts regarding commissions, purchasing, and prices will be directed to a gallery link (s).

Special thanks to Brandon Schroader for designing and building this site.
