Artist Statement/ Bio:
This Series of mixed media Paintings uses words and texture as a principal element in the Work. The primary strength lies in the fusion of text and texture, effortlessly navigating the realms of abstract expressionism and typography.
The figure utilized to represent the "I" in each word in each painting cleverly doubles as a representation of an individual. The choice of the wording is profoundly introspective and prompts a metacognitive reflection on identity and being. This Series continues to incorporate sequential numbering within each image.
I come to these Series of Conceptual and Typographic/Number Works during a lengthy career as a fine art painter and after an even longer career as a commissioned Artist and Illustrator working on projects for General Motors, Proctor and Gamble, 3MCo. and UWO.
Best known for his Marathon of Hope Portrait of Terry Fox, Cliff and his wife Mary Margaret moved to Vancouver from Ontario six years ago.
