Clayton Schiff's Surreal New Paintings at Sebastian Gladstone Gallery
Sebastian Gladstone Gallery in Los Angeles has opened a solo exhibition of new paintings by Clayton Schiff, described as his most arresting works to date. The canvases depict the daily panorama as surreal, terrifying, and mystifying, featuring his iconic dream-skewed, wide-eyed people. Schiff's palette leans into ochres and violets of fresh earth. The paintings are inspired by his walks, including an incident in Forest Hills, Queens, where he observed birds fighting over a berry, and a walk through Yonkers, described as a speck of green carved into the city on the Hudson.
