Major Work - The Tim House - was donated to the new Madison Center for Contemporary Art in connection with opening of new Museum building.

"THE TIM HOUSE"









Rob and Christian Clayton, are collaborators and individuals. In tandem, they are known as The Clayton Brothers, producing dynamic, extemporaneous, yet purposeful images, sought after by private collectors. Their work is narrative, autobiographical, ethereal and subliminal; culled from memories of sub-urban decay, sprinkled with the sour irony of truth. Far from expectations inculcated during youth, The Clayton Brother’s recollections of the past are revealed as slightly tainted yet sublime memories. Their images speak to all through a universal, visual vernacular borrowed from folklore, mythology, urban legend, sound bytes and info-graphics. They vigorously ignore unkempt artistic banality. Their work does not tell people what to think or how to behave. Instead, it takes you to a place of the kind of acceptance you experience in the dreams you occasionally control as you sleep. The dreams you try to remember the entire day.
