Fill Your Life With Bold Colors
Clarence Lum is a self taught artist, who was inspired by the great museums of the world. While now located in Saginaw, Michigan, Clarence had the opportunity to travel the world while working in an international finance career. He visited the great museums in Paris, Rome, Florence, London, Madrid, Amsterdam, Shanghai and Beijing. He then studied drawing and painting at the College of Lake County in Illinois and subsequently worked at the Art Institute of Chicago. Since returning to Saginaw, Clarence is a docent at the Saginaw Art Museum.
The first impression of Clarence's paintings are the bold, extreme and yet complementary colors.
His primary source of inspiration is painting life's fleeting moments. The idea is to capture on canvas those precious moments that disappear in seconds, minutes or a few days. Many of the oil paintings are flowers at their peak in full bloom or fruits and vegetable seen only at harvest time. Among the portraits are fleeting moments where the subject is lost in thought, still contemplation or just that look of surprise. The landscapes represent places and scenes; some fleeting, some lost in time or just places that bring memories of good times and special moments. Regardless of the subject matter, the paintings are always dominated by bright, bold and complementary colors.
