WHO-IS: His name 'mr clement' is his artistic pseudonym for his work as a sculptor and graphic novelist. His inspirations come from comics, popular culture and classical music.
He works to soften traditionally highbrow fine art by mixing it with popular sub-culture and explore a new and accessible platform to present his artwork.
He likes to experiment with the concept of sculpture in different contexts, produce friendly artwork in the form of mini sculptures ('toys’). Simplicity and fun is important, as he sees it necessary to have a more direct and pure way for people to understand artwork and relate themselves to the work and the world beyond.
