- Born
in Dayton, Ohio, in 1963, Rob Clayton went on to graduate from Art
Center College of Design in 1988. His work has appeared in numerous
publications including Time, Us, Spin, and The Los Angeles
Times. Rob has abeen influenced by a lifetime of traveling within
The United States, devouring all the visual stimulus and regenerating
it in the form of painted stories. He strarts with a story in his
head and uses his images, often drawn from superstition, as a sort
of visual vocabulary. Like a child's feverish dream, the benign and
familiar become ominous in an instant. The artist currently teaches
at Art Center and continues to pursue a successful freelance illustration
career in between exhibits. This is his third solo show at La Luz
de Jesus.
