Clive Powsey

I make hand pulled intaglio prints on paper from a small press. After training for four years at the Ontario College of Art in drawing, painting and printmaking I worked as an occupational fine and applied artist for over 40 years regularly exhibiting in commercial galleries and at art fairs whilst also drawing, painting and art directing for film, television and advertising in both large corporate and small bespoke animation studios. I’m a time traveler visiting from the middle/late 20th century so I’m still deeply interested in the ineffability and irrationality of the domain of images. Within the constraints of my skill set and chosen medium I enjoy promiscuous relationships with a wide variety of imagery, visual styles and ideas.
