Artist Statement
"An engagement leads work with materials when the tactile texture falls back into the very matter from which it’s made - it then comes into vision as something suggested. The physicality of oil paint and the archaeology of layers; plus the application and movement across the surface inseparable from the content, Clossick presents a rigorous enquiry informed by his own experience. His work reverberates with notions of freedom, selfhood, representation and aspects of the human condition connected to our divergent identities and experiences."
Method of Working
'"The former London Group president is a man seemingly in love with paint as both a substance and a subject. So oils are generously applied in a series of confident, purposeful strokes. Similarly, the colours are drawn from all corners of his palette, yet appear to sing in harmony and discord with one another across the course of the canvas."
