Chris MacClure is always looking for that authentic gesture or moment in everything. His paintings are an expression of his “Romantic Realist” view of life. Chris’s engaging style is evident in his perfected usage of the illusive color changes and natural compositions. Using landscapes as a language, Chris incorporates imagery and symbolism to his art to reflect his own unique expression.
Born into an artistic family in Saint John, New Brunswick, Chris MacClure was surrounded by the arts from a young age. His father was a jazz musician, his mother a playwright, and his grandfather an illustrator, so it never occurred to him that he couldn’t be an artist. This sense of inner confidence has taken MacClure to places and studios around the world for more than 40 years, offering him a wide range of opportunities to hone his skills.
Numerous paintings of his may be found in many corporate collections worldwide. Some notable collectors of his artwork include: John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, James Whitmore, mezzo soprano Frederica Von Stade, drag racing legend Don Prud’Homme, Bill Clinton, Boris Yeltsin, Pepsi Co. and the Ford Motor Co. of Detroit.
