Leigh Clarke
£0.00
Leigh Clarke’s recent work uses print to physically realise anonymous and invisible occupants in social media spaces.
Searching through various online platforms, Clarke locates avatars and pseudonyms, and imagines them as physical figurative forms. Abandoning the mechanical and digital in favour of a more direct and performative approach, Clarke uses his body weight to apply pressure to create the printed image. The work imagines strangers resolving differences through interaction, dance, and discourse.
Clarke Graduated from The Royal College of Art Printmaking course in 1998. He has exhibited his work internationally and his prints are held in the Government Art Collection and in numerous private collections. Clarke has generated print projects at The Whitechapel Gallery, Turner Contemporary, Create London, Airspace Stoke-on-Trent and the Centre de la Gravure et de l’Image imprimée Belgium. He has been an Invited Critic on the MA Printmaking Course at the Royal Academy Antwerp and MA Print at La Cambre Brussels. He has represented UAL in two International Printmaking Workshops at Xi'an Fine Arts Academy in China and Elam School of Fine Art in Auckland, New Zealand.
He has been a Print Tutor at the Royal Academy Schools since 2012 and works from his studio in Margate.
