Work by Cliff Tresner

Twenty-two-year adopted Louisianian Cliff Tresner's artistic work reflects his grounding in the natural and cultural landscape of this vibrant region—a grounding that is delicate and at times subject to any change in the weather. Foundationally, his iconic paintings and sculptural pieces are informed by his background in furniture design, and inspired by themes such as natural beauty, human frailty, representation versus abstraction, improvisation, creation and destruction, and the chain of events that cause the water to rise in the bayou. An exhibit of his recent work will be on display at the Hilliard from March 8–August 10. hilliardmuseum.org.
