Clive Hicks-Jenkins

"Over the past twenty-five years, Clive Hicks-Jenkins has achieved renown in his native Wales and beyond as a painter of rare and powerful vision. It helps that he came to painting by an unusual route, having enjoyed a successful theatrical career - as actor, director, choreographer and stage designer – before the urge to paint became irresistible.  Today his paintings of figures and animals are so striking, at least in part, because of the continual dialogue between design and dance, structure and movement."
