Neville Clarke
Born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1959, Neville Clarke studied in Italy, and graduated with honors from the Ontario College of Art. His paintings reflect the current social and economic situation; for him the figure is the medium through which he expresses sympathy, hope, and human dignity. Through his paintings, he hopes to re-educate Canadian society, and to influence and encourage Black creativity. He feels that African Canadian women have displayed more strength than men in the trials of the community over the centuries. "A Moment of Reflection" was awarded the A. J. Casson Medal award in 1995.
