Donna Clark is an emerging, contemporary painter based in Bristol, Tennessee, United States. Primarily utilizing acrylic paint on canvas, her work is a visual representation of the impact of archetypes within the collective unconscious and their role in the mind’s resistance to an increasingly technological world.
Characterized by overtly colorful, surreal imagery and movement-forward, whimsical patterns, the work compels the observer to contemplate the spectacle of the natural world while vague but perceptible iterations of objects and actions simultaneously capitalize on our natural sense of fear of the unknown. The overall impact seeks to impose a stark juxtaposition between the foundational capacity to feel and the advent and acculturation of technology.
