Painter Bud Clayton makes a return to Galveston as a featured guest artist at the G. Lee Gallery

GALVESTON, Texas - Aug. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Painter Bud Clayton makes a return to Galveston Island as a featured guest artist at the G. Lee Gallery located at 2215 Postoffice street with a selection of paintings on view beginning August 17^th -  through the end of September, 2013.

Clayton’s paintings have gone through a whirlwind of change in his latest bodies of work, unlike what some Galvestonians may recognize. Since moving from Galveston in 2011, Clayton has had the chance to travel seeing much inspiring scenery from favorite areas such as Big Bend National Park, Marfa, Texas, Round Top, Texas and Las Cruces, New Mexico.

His last exhibition of work “On Time” debuted in Houston, Texas at Houston Heights Gallery M Squared, which gained him much recognition and press. Clayton’s studio is now located in Flatonia, Texas; a charming railroad town with great light and secluded areas of stimulation.

G. Lee Gallery offers a great opportunity to Clayton to exhibit his newest style, mingle with past clients and introduce others in the community to this artist’s fresh take on painting.

Clayton has an unusual approach to painting. He describes his work as reflecting the ravages of time and the forces of nature upon everyday objects we encounter in our environment. His work is colorful and rich with texture, often created with knives, brushes and sandpaper. He carefully removes paint to expose what’s beneath in his layered compositions. The paintings capture an industrial perspective, and reflect the way this young man sees the world around him.

The public is invited to a preview of Clayton’s work on Saturday, August 17; from 4 – 8 pm. Light refreshments will be served.

Please also join us for ArtWalk on Saturday, August 24^th, from 6 – 9 pm at G.Lee Gallery. Bud Clayton will be present at both events.
