The Return of the Harbinger

The Artwork of Clinton Deckert

Opening Reception: Saturday October 3, 2015, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.

with guitarist extraordinaire Steve Rutledge 

Clinton Deckert is an award winning contemporary 

artist who is also an advocate of the arts by serving as Curator 

& Juror in regional art events. Deckert's artwork demands 

your attention by using multiple layers of intense, yet 

harmoniously balanced color in tandem with various 

techniques that bridge the gap of imaginary worlds that

he portrays in each of his works.

His artwork was selected for inclusion into the 

Societé Nationale Des Beaux Arts international exhibition

at Carrousel Du Lovre, Paris, France. Deckert’s work has 

appeared twice in the New York Times, he has also 

exhibited throughout New York in Chelsea, SoHo, 

Williamsburg and Woodstock. He has several artworks 

represented in the acclaimed Jack & Susan Warner Collection

of American Art. He is represented by Dorothy’s Gallery in 

Paris, France, and also locally in Connecticut by 

Paris in Plantsville where he also serves on their Advisory Board.

Deckert looks forward to a solo show in the 

New Britain Museum of American Art’s New/Now 2016 program.
