Wall Hanging Sculpture by Vancouver artist Ken Clarke beautifully detailed, very slight chip to the underside of one of the teeth (bio from website) Ken Clarke is a sculptor living and practicing in Vancouver, British Columbia. Born in Toronto, he studied two years at the Ontario College of Art between 1982 and 1984,and moved west to study a further four years from 1984 to 1987, graduating with honours from the Emily Carr College of Art and Design. Subsequently, he created several public art projects, including the Tribute to Baseball at the Skydome in Toronto, the Delano Project on west 4th in Vancouver, the Italian Gardens at the PNE, and the Cinque Terre condominium in the West End. During that time, he started a studio, “Hungry Thumbs”, in the downtown eastside, where he developed his figurative body of sculpture, and worked in hard landscape design and carving. In recent years, Clarke has moved into sculptural explorations using natural materials and processes. He has collaborated with master weaver Alastair Heseltine on a large scale sculptural project installed in the VanDusen gardens, and has continued to develop project partnerships with other sculptors, including Marie Khouri, with whom he worked in 2013 to create “Vantage”, for Bosa properties, and “Let's Sit and Talk”, 2014, installed in the Equinox Gallery. Clarke is involved in the film industry, working as a sculptor on feature productions, and maintains an ongoing sculptural practice in his downtown studio. His work is held in private and corporate collections throughout North America.
