ECSTATIC ANGELS FROM BERLIN AT JACKSON JUNGE GALLERY

Ecstatic Angels, Nikolaikirche, Berlin, 10 x 13 inch ink drawing by George C. Clark    SOLD
I drew these baroque carved-wood angels in the reconstructed Nikolaikirche in Berlin recently.  It has been selected to be in the exhibition ANGELICIES: A LOOK AT THE MODERN DAY ANGEL at Jackson Junge Gallery, 1389 N. Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago.  The exhibition opens Friday, November 18, 2011, with an artists' reception from 6 to 9pm, and will run through the holidays.

I did the drawing on a single sheet of paper that formed facing pages of a bound sketchbook.  I made a copy print of the open sketchbook, retouched out evidence of the center crease, and signed and photographed the print to make the digital image posted above and at What's New From George C. Clark.  At the gallery I will be showing the original drawing which I have taken out of its binding and am now flattening before I frame it.  I will sign it with the date I drew it instead of the caption "Ecstatic Angels."

Update 10pm November 18:  I just got back from the opening reception and I am happy to report this drawing is sold.
