CLEMMONS

Chicago Artist

The work portrayed in this website went through 25 years of artistic development. I have combined various materials that inform and ground my story including canvas, wood, sawdust, sand, acrylic and oils, and found objects. The canvas paintings are not always traditionally framed. In most recent works, the art is presented as ‘raw edged’, mounted on floating wood panels.

The presentations are intentionally diverse, reflecting what I call the 4 ROOMS, four distinct creative approaches to making Art. As you navigate the site, you will encounter varied methods that represent an ongoing investigation into the personal and collective experience on identity, culture, historical connection, and memories.

I invite you to explore the 4 ROOMS, and welcome questions, observations, and commentary. The art is ready for collection for discerning viewers. For a deeper understanding of the 4 ROOMS concept, please contact the Artist through the contact page. A studio visit allows for in depth conversation and further examination of these soulful works.

“The best art gains value through story, histories, connection.” 

 All Art, unless sold, is available for purchase. See retail pricing. Shipping and delivery of artwork is included in price for Chicago residents.
