Clive Head

Clive Head is a contemporary British painter. In 1983 he began studying for a degree in Fine Art at the Aberystwyth University. After completing his degree, and a short period of postgraduate study at Lancaster University, Head began showing at the Colin Jellicoe Gallery in Manchester. In 1994 Head founded and became the Chair of the Fine Art Department at the University of York's Scarborough Campus. During this period most of Head's work was in a neo-classical figurative style, and these works were shown at the Paton Gallery, London in 1995. Head then moved on to producing urban realist paintings, closer in theme and style to the work he had made as an art student in Aberystwyth. In terms of subject matter, Head tends towards urban scenes, particularly London, although he has also painted New York, Moscow, Los Angeles, Prague, Rome and Paris, amongst other places. Stylistically Head is almost unique in contemporary British art in the way he has developed a highly personal language of art. Very early on Head developed a realist style of painting, often mistaken for Photorealism, but his most recent work has moved firmly away from this. Even when producing ostensibly realist paintings Head always maintained that his work was not concerned with the visual appearance of the world, but with the full sensual experience of being in a particular place over a period of time.
