A screen capture from the Bemis’s fundraising auction site that includes the following text: Bro Sketch with Gold Curtain, 2024. Oil on canvas.12 x 12 x 2 inches. Fair Market Value: $750. Starting Bid: $525. Buy It Now: $1,125. KLAIRE LOCKHEART is three raccoons in a trench coat masquerading as a painter from Vermillion, South Dakota. The first raccoon picks fights with old dead guys in order to thwart the patriarchy, the second one enjoys snacks, and the third loves to paint. Lockheart uses oil paint and her snarky sense of humor to create absurd figure paintings so she can challenge traditional gender roles. After receiving the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant to paint dudes in man caves, Lockheart created these tiny oil sketches to prepare for larger compositions as part of her ongoing series of Brodalisques. These paintings of bros posed as odalisques have been published in New American Paintings, DailyArt Magazine, and Bird in Flight. The Dahl Arts Center in Rapid City, SD; the Norfolk Arts Center in Norfolk, NE; and the Sioux City Art Center in Sioux City, IA have hosted her recent solo exhibitions.”
