Clifton Childree installation.   EXHIBITION Clifton Childree: Storm Inn SEPTEMBER 30 - NOVEMBER 7, 2020 Emerson Dorsch Gallery is pleased to present Storm Inn, a solo exhibition of Clifton Childree’s new paintings. An award-winning experimental film, performance, and installation artist, Childree began making paintings as backdrops for his films and mixed media installations, but, at the outset, they were props, not the focus. After more than a decade of working in Miami’s art scene, he’s honed a painting style that holds his past while opening into a more meditative moment. The exhibition will open on September 30th and will be on view through November 7, 2020. Storm Inn by Clifton Childree is funded by The Ellies, Miami’s visual arts awards, presented by Oolite Arts. Through a competitive application process and monetary awards, The Ellies celebrate individual artists who are the backbone of Miami’s visual arts community. Join us on Instagram Live on Friday, October 30th, 2020 at 6:00 pm for a conversation between Clifton Childree and Thom Wheeler Castillo as they discuss Storm Inn.
