For “Betrayal and Vengeance,” ClarkFilio’s debut New York exhibition at Kimberly-Klarkin Ridgewood, Queens, the artist is presenting six narrative-dense figurative oil paintings whose process and feel are in part informed by his 2009 experience studying with the legendary fantasy artist Rick Berry, who is renowned for, among other achievements, his work on Magic: The Gathering cards and the cover of William Gibson’s classic 1984 novel Neuromancer.
