Ferndale mural project, "The Anatomy of Humanity", mural painting by Eugene Clark Artist
The Anatomy of Humanity |
Following in the footsteps of artists like Picasso, Clark defines both community and diversity, while maintaining his abstract expressionist style, with a post-modern twist. His background as an anatomist affords him a vast array of imagery to draw from. The distinct edge of a human rib spirals in a curving motion directing the viewer towards the edge of a scapula, or an ilium. He begins with an underlying figurative element, which through these colorful fragmented anatomical images, becomes exposed on the surface to the viewer. Clark weaves together the anatomy of the human form with rich and colorful images, suggesting our common thread as human beings, and the beauty that lies within the diversity of our cultures and the vastness of our collective experiences.
