CLIVE

Clive was born near London in 1956. An early visit to Provence triggered a fascination for exploring places and he continued to travel extensively as an observer in numerous countries throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas. Settling for long periods in Germany and Crete, he learned German, Spanish and French, and continued to paint while investigating interests such as mechanical engineering and electronics.

In 1980, Clive settled in Paris. While exploring other media such as collages and small sculpture, he began to sell his paintings to private collectors who would happen upon his work.

Since 1996, Clive has divided his time between Paris, Normandy and the Côte d'Azur. He uses formats up to 4 meters by 3 meters, oil on canvas and, occasionally, wood panel. In the countryside of Normandy, he also creates large-scale sculptures using metals and other objects he finds on his journeys. His works are now in numerous private collections around the world, including Geneva, Paris, Stuttgart, Moscow, London, and Los Angeles.
