MATTHEW ALLAN CLARKE

My name is Matthew Allan Clarke and I'm a Red Seal concrete placer and finisher based in Edmonton, Alberta. I was born in Edmonton in 1986, and I got My Bachelor's of Fine Art from the University of Alberta.

​

My work transforms the mundane into the extraordinary. I take the material of toil (concrete) and manipulate it into contemplative sculptures. My artistic process is my means of escape; it allows me to transcend physical expectation and create works that delve into themes of spirituality. The results are sculptures that serve as a reminder that art has the ability to transcend the boundaries of expectations, and provide an avenue for escapism and expression. The works that I create are thought-provoking pieces that invite viewers to explore and contemplate what concrete can be.
