Talent. Boring and Sisters The work is on dis play at the Alder Callers . Hit) K Broadway He didn't want his artwork to look like others fine art.' so he tries to add a little humor to his paintings "There are relatively few fine artists that bring humor to paint ings,” Cloutier said He said that one of the draw IsM ks is that paintings with humor m is not appeal to people who want to buy art They just don't find it attnu live. Cloutier said. “Oregon is rurt a strong market for selling original art," Cloutier said “It i* pretty poor ” Cloutier said he is not con cerned about selling art like his friends are “1 don't take it as an insult when people don't buy rtiy work.” Cloutier said If he really wanted to sell his art. he said, he would have to < bangs his style, lower his pm e dramatically or “pick friends who are rich." Cloutier draws scenes from each of these cities hut adds a lit tie twist to them “Napoleon Returns to Water loo but this time to pick-up • Six pack of Hud Light," is one painting in which he drew a lit tle groc erv store in the town of Waterloo Napoleon is walking out of the grocery store with a six park of bear and is getting into Ins pick-up trio k. which has some bumper stu kers on it. ss.iv ing such things as "Wellington is a weenie.” In "Here's a big plug for Drain. It's the only clog-freecity in Ore gon,” Cloutier drew a main street in Drain with a hug** plug in the middle of the road. In another painting. "Soul Sis ters," he drew a hotel in Sisters there is a Inngo parlor/restaurant that has nuns walking around cleaning up the place. ”1 interpret and see things dif ferently than an ordinary person would.” Cloutier said. Cloutier is a graphic artist who has done some cartooning, writ ing and calligraphy He received a masters in fine arts from the University of Oregon While at the University, he designed the cover of the student directory called "pigger's guide" for four years He is the originator of the Oregon Ungreeting cards and SNOB (Society of Native Oregon Horn) He has also written liooks about Oregon humor Cloutier would like to write and illustrate children's books. He would also like to participate in a workshop to help people find their creative talent. He said everyone can draw or paint, but just fee 1 they can't because they might have been told by a teacher or someone else that they can't.
