AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Plastic artist and photographer, Bruce Clarke was born in 1959 in London to South African parents. He has been residing in France since the early 1990s.

It was at the Beaux-Arts of Leeds University that he was introduced to the Art & Language movement led by Michael Baldwin, David Bainbridge, Terry Atkinson, and Harold Hurrell. His work deals with contemporary history, writing, and the transmission of this history to stimulate reflection on the modern world and its representations. Firmly rooted in a current of critical figuration, his visual research incorporates codes to better turn them against systems of power and injustice.

After the Rwandan genocide, he conducted photographic reporting and proposed the creation of the Garden of Memory, an artistic memorial in the form of a monumental installation. The project has been carried out since 2000 with the support of the victims' families or relatives. It is supported by civil society, Rwandan institutions, and UNESCO. He also worked on a project for the 20th commemoration of the genocide in 2014, called 'Les Hommes debout' (Standing Men). This project has also been realized in Geneva, Lausanne, Paris, Ouidah, Montreal, and is now being sustained in Brussels.

Guest artist in residence by the General Council of Guadeloupe, he created the exhibition Fragments of a Tomorrow's History on the connection between slavery, colonialism, and globalization. Collaborator of Fest’Africa in Lille for the Rwanda project: Write, film, paint out of a sense of memory, he works with the Afrika Cultural Centre in Johannesburg and leads visual arts workshops in South Africa, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Benin, Tanzania, Zambia, and France.

As a photographer, he publishes reports on South Africa, the reconstruction of Rwanda, the return of Liberian refugees, and Palestine.

Her works are exhibited in Europe, Africa, and the United States.

Artwork submitted by the artist at Galerie Art-Z, sold with a certificate of authenticity. Shipped via DHL or Fedex, carefully packaged.
