Patiflasmic Plasmatic Gestation Movement #2 (detail shot) Briefly describe the work you do. I use paper to create a world of fiction that challenges the viewer to suspend disbelief and venture into my fabricated reality. By layering paper I am able to build intriguing land formations that mimic viral colonies and concentric sound waves. These strange landmasses contaminate and infect the… Continue reading Charles Clary – Murfreesboro, Tennessee

A few weeks ago, I received notice that I was accepted into my first juried show in Knoxville, Tennessee –  The Dogwood Arts Regional Art Show, close to my hometown.  I was thrilled to have a show so close to my hometown, so my family and friends could come to an opening and see the art in person. The show “was developed to showcase and award the … Continue reading Best in Show – Dogwood Arts Regional Art Show – Knoxville, Tennessee

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to my show in Nashville over the weekend.  I’ve posted several photos from the show below.  The Tennesseean said, “Jamey Grimes and Charles Clary create works that are at once organic and synthetic. While Clary’s vibrant paper sculptures evoke biological forms, playfully ‘infecting’ the spaces they inhabit, Grimes’ whimsical webs of corrugated plastic provide for the completion of natural structures.”

The exhibit will be on display from December 7 through January 25 at the Rymer Gallery, 233 Fifth Avenue North in Nashville, TN.

I’m excited to announce that later this week, Nancy Margolis Gallery in New York City, NY opens a 2-person show featuring my work along with Ryan Cobourn.  Cobourn will be exhibiting a new series of abstract paintings titled, Pastorale.

It has been a busy fall.  I recently had a show and artist talk in Mobile, Alabama; currently have a show up in San Diego, and just got back from a fun and invigorating Southeastern College Art Conference.  I’m still busily making new work, which you can see below. My time at the University of Mobile was fantastic; I had a show called “Micro-Diddlitis” at Marilyn Foley … Continue reading Shows, Updates, and New Work
