The Most Special Day of My Life

by Rob Clayton and Christian Clayton

The Most Special Day of My Life Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Clayton Brothers' idiosyncratic paintings and constructions have won them acclaim as unique — if twisted — visual storytellers. Their art collaborations have been seen in movies such as Monkeybone, music videos for Oasis, and print campaigns for the X Games. The Most Special Day of My Life showcases some of their best projects, including Tim House, a 6' x 8' x 13' church/schoolhouse installment with bizarre portraits of people real and imagined clinging together inside. Designed to be sampled rather than read front to back, this sumptuously illustrated book tours the work, and minds, of two masters of postmodern art.

Synopsis:

The Most Special Day of My Life is a collection of works by visionary artists Rob and Christian Clayton, both as collaborators and individuals. In tandem, they are known as The Clayton Brothers, producing dynamic, extemporaneous, yet purposeful images, sought after for commercial use as well as by private collectors. Their work is narrative, autobiographical, ethereal and subliminal; culled from memories of suburban decay, sprinkled with the sour irony of truth. The Clayton Brothers' approach to painting, drawing, collage, and installation is a narrative feeding frenzy; one brother beginning a painting, then handing it off to the other for his interpretation. Back and forth the brothers work; twisting, elaborating, reinterpreting, editing and redirecting each others' marks. They never enter a painting with pre-conceived notions of what the end result will be.
