Biography
Richard Clark was born in North Carolina on June 26, 1974. He actually has never had any formal art training. He won his first art contest at age 4 and continued to rack up award after award for his amazing God given talent. Clark actually found out about an art show with over 1500 entries while he was enlisted in the Army and with no time to create anything new he found 4 old paintings in the closet he had done years before and just thought it would be nice to see if his work would place. He brought home 1st, 2nd, 3rd and honerable Mention. Even though he has designed one of a kind shoes for Converse and has a celebrity portfolio; Richard Clark's life is a tragic tale filled with emotion that becomes one with the canvas to paint you into a world that traps your soul. His mother left him at six months old with his dad thats drinking almost destroyed the both of them. His mother came back into his life when he was twelve only to attempt to murder him. Art was his only outlet to express his emotion. His senior year in High School he excelled in the arts and was offered a full scholarship to the Parsons School of Art and the Art Institute, as well as, an internship with Marvel and Disney. The light at the end of the tunnel was soon dimmed as he had to put his dad in a rehab clinic and drop out of school to save their home. He saved their home but soon after his father was released from rehab his dad furious of the treatment gave the home up any way and the two went their seperate ways. With no one to seek shelter with Clark found himself sleeping in a cemetary on a cement tomb staring at the sky seeking a way out. He went to a local community college during the day where he obtained his adult high school diploma and joined the United States Army. He found himself joining the military where he fought in the Infantry and forever tried to redeem his soul through his art. He is the type of person that has faced trial after trial but no matter how many times he has been knocked to the ground he has always managed to summon the strength to stand back up and face whatever the powers that be had to throw at him. Trying to have a real family for once he married at 18 and had 2 sons by 21. His wife turned out to be just like his mom and ended up walking out on the family and never looking back. He was a single father and left the military where he would sell sketches and paint murals for income. 3 years past and he built a sign and graphics company and then married a gold digging female that tried to take what he had worked so hard to build. They had one child together and during the divorce proceeding the wife told the judge "Sir he can have the child I just want the money!" Clark threw the keys to her from across the court room and kept his 3 sons together. He lost everything again but then kept the thing that mattered most....his children. With just an airbrush left he went to the beaches of the Carolinas and started painting t-shirts for money. This fine artist that seemed to channel the spirits of the masters had been reduced to doing whatever it took art wise to eat. He found himself working night and day to provide for everyone and with the street smarts he possessed he managed to turn money over and open an airbrush shop in the mall. Three years past and he met a bi racial girl that was born and raised in Germany. They dated for a while and she seemed to be the only one that could tame the artist. They were married in 2005 and now Clark finally has his family and now with four sons. His emotions and pain seem to paint the canvas for him and his work is able to captivate people from all walks of life and crosses over to all races, religions and backgrounds. His art is now world wide and Clark uses his talents to try to inspire and help others. Born and raised in the Carolinas of the United States he is a hardened and battle tossed soul that still displays the characteristics of a leader. One that does not drink or addicted to any substance; he stands as a knight making sure others do not have to struggle and feel the pain that he has known.

Style Impressionism

An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise.
