Clayton Brothers Paintings and Exhibitions at the Saatchi Gallery
Clayton Brothers are Back In The Swing of Things with a brand new album and a brand new record label. Brothers John and Jeff, the former on bass and the latter on saxophone, are two of the most prolific musicians in mainstream jazz. Also part of the celebrated, Clayton-Hamilton Big Band Orchestra, the siblings have earned their esteemed reputation with a number of top selling recordings and sold out concert dates around the world, not to mention guest appearances and arrangements on records by everyone from Diana Krall to Count Basie. On their latest, the band joined by Bill Cunliffe on piano, Terrell Stafford on trumpet and Jeff Hamilton on drums, are as powerful as ever. The swing comes hard and steady, but there are also a number of gorgeous interludes that add a unique balance and flavor to the proceedings. Jazz fans will no doubt savor the return of one of the music’s finest modern quintets.Christian Clayton are brothers, collaborators, and the best of friends. Collectively they work as the Clayton Brothers, producing dynamic, improvisational, yet purposeful and humane paintings, installations and mixed-media works on paper. The Clayton Brothers’ approach to art-making is a collaborative process: one brother begins a painting, then hands it off to the other, then back again, and so on. Their art is narrative, autobiographical, uncanny and intuitive, culled from the secret language of a shared childhood. Rather than nostalgic musings about youth, the Clayton Brothers’ recollections of the past are revealed through a twisted lens of adulthood. At once epic and intimate, the Clayton Brothers’ layered paintings become stories where the matrix of two psyches – independent, but related – weave together elements of memory and the subconscious using the seemingly innocuous – the TV dinner, the toothbrush, the dastardly squirrel- as metaphors and messengers.
Clayton Brothers’ narrative style is a kind of non-linear abstraction verging on reality. There is nothing premeditated or provincial about this work. The sheer bulk of characters with their untamed manners, liberty of movement, power in space, but also their elegance is conveyed with a masterly precision and economy of line that befits two artists with more than 20 combined years of art-making. The tonal qualities and the ingenious use of surfaces in the canvas and on paper, suggest a kind of cinematic perspective. The freshness of the pigments and the impact of the colors is a force on innocent eyes who are unaccustomed to visual
