Brian McClear
/0 Comments/in ArtAscent Gold, Artists of Portraits | 2021 Feb /by ArtAscentBrian McClear’s portraits seem like a planned snapshot. Even if the depicted individual is posing, it still feels like they are caught in a moment. Some eyes look at the viewer directly, who might feel observed. Therefore the painting is reversing the situation, and suddenly the observer is the one being looked at. They create a private moment of exchange, an exchange of life stories.

B. Fulton Jennes

wore an eye patch to cover the black hole
left when a big buck careened over the hood
of his car one morning, its skull smashing
the windshield, its antlers gouging his eyeball…
The childhood memories are often vague, almost faded, as old photos in one’s family album. And yet, B. Fulton Jennes’s poetry demonstrates, they occur to be those tiny puzzles, which construct our identity and nourish our imagination as we grew up.

I fucking love Andy Warhol. That’s what I used to think… Back then, simplicity was appealing. It was avant-my-guard. Perfectly positioned by our self-centered polaroider “artist.” Clean lines and opaque shapes, defining where we stood. A cotton candy back round juxtaposes our guarded subjective expressionism…

My father’s beard, a shadow at 5 a.m.,
briefly bristled my cheek while my mother lilted,
“Rise and shine,” in the dark day number four
for child number four to fish with the week’s ruler…
