| Ford McLain is a primitive painter living in Albany, NY. He began painting in the mid-1990s, inspired by the work of Paul Gauguin and the novel, "The Moon and Sixpence." After an 8-year lull, McLain began painting again in the fall of 2007. He has been showing since 2008. He has had solo shows at the Wine Bar and Bistro, Capital City Gastropub, Lifestyle Vegetarian Juice Bar, Upstate Artists Guild, Lark Street Business Improvement District, and Poppy’s Burgers and Fries in Beacon. He has also contributed pieces to local charity events, such as Champagne in the Park (in Albany’s Washington Park).
One of the major themes in Ford McLain's work is liberation from a mundane, unfilling life and the embracing of one’s passions. Another relevant theme is painting as a means of redemption.
Ford McLain’s paintings can be seen at www.zhibit.org/fprmclain .
