The Galerie Montmartre
Open Monday to Sunday, from 9:30am to 6:30pm
CLARKE Bruce
Bruce Clarke was born in 1959 in London to South African expatriate parents. He became politically and artistically involved very early on in the struggle against Apartheid and closely followed the rising tensions in Rwanda.
He was introduced to the Art & Language movement and conceptual art at Leeds University in the 1980s.
His work deals with contemporary history, the writing and transmission of this history to stimulate reflection on the contemporary world and its representations. Firmly anchored in a current of critical figuration, his plastic research integrates the codes to better turn them against the devices of power and injustice.
His latest publication, Ghosts of the Sea (2016), pays tribute to the refugees who are victims of trans-Mediterranean human trafficking.
