Clive Hicks-Jenkins
Clive Hicks-Jenkins (born 1951) is a Welsh artist known especially for narrative paintings and artist's books. His paintings are represented in all the main public collections in Wales, as well as others in the United Kingdom, and his artist's books are found in libraries internationally.
Clive Hicks-Jenkins was born in Newport, south Wales, in 1951. His father worked for the Central Electricity Generating Board and his mother was a hairdresser.
He attended Hartridge Comprehensive School in Newport but was unhappy there and at the age of twelve he moved to the Italia Conti School in London, where he studied theatre, worked as an actor in films and television and took classes at the Rambert Ballet School.
As a teen Hicks-Jenkins acted in a few television shows, including multiple appearances in Tom Grattan's War.[citation needed] In the late 1960s he was a performer and puppeteer with Cardiff's Caricature Theatre.
During the 1970s and 1980s Hicks-Jenkins worked as a choreographer, director, and stage designer, creating productions with, among others, the Vienna Festival, the Almeida Theatre, Theatr Clwyd and Cardiff New Theatre, where he was associate director.
Since the 1990s he has concentrated on his work as a visual artist.
Hicks-Jenkins works through the mediums of painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, maquettes, animation and artist's books. Nicholas Usherwood in Galleries has described his work as ‘reflective, expressive painting of the highest order’. Robert Macdonald wrote in Planet in 2002, "Hicks-Jenkins has emerged in recent years as one of the most powerful figurative painters in Wales". Since 2010 the artist has discussed his methods in a regular "Artlog" about his ongoing work.
Sense of place plays an important role in his paintings, especially places in Wales, and he has been identified as influenced by British mid-twentieth neo-romanticism. Places appear not only in landscape paintings but as emotionally charged backdrops to still lifes and narrative works and as Andrew Green states, "he negotiates his way through his landscapes, inner and outer; working with the lie of the land to make new discoveries, build new connections".
