Biography
| Clive Blackmore
Clive Blackmore was born in 1940 and studied at Twickenham and Kingston Schools of Art. He worked mainly as a potter until 1984 when he returned to painting full time and has recently been made a member of the Royal West of England Academy. He lives and works in Cornwall. Artist’s Statement Most of my paintings are either still life or landscape. The still life objects have been in my studio for years and it is rare that I augment this small collection of bric-a-brac with anything new. Rather dusty, they stay on a table under a skylight and I rearrange them and make small preparatory drawings before starting to paint. Sometimes the feeling of landscape comes into a still life. This seems to happen unconsciously as the painting unfolds and, when I become aware of it, I don’t check it in any way even when the objects in the composition are affected and become indistinct. My studio is close to the sea and the light is often vaporous, silver and still whilst at other times, of course, it is dramatic and stormy. Close by, surrounded by woodland, is a lake that flows into the sea. Landscape which is close to water fascinates me even if the water is out of sight. I find it moving in a way I cannot describe.
