James Cahill presents a review of a new exhibition by the renowned
artist Francesco Clemente,(b.1952) exploring his first show in
London for seven years. The monograph includes a conversation
recorded with the artist in which he discusses the new paintings,
and the ideas which grounded their development. Clemente embodies a
binding of different cultures: the Western Italian Renaissance,
Eastern philosophy of Buddhism and the Mandala; formed in a life
divided between New York and India. The exhibition of fourteen
works at Blain|Southern, Hanover Square, is entitled 'Mandala for
Crusoe' and runs until 26th January 2013. Francesco Clemente (b.
1952, Naples, Italy) is a renowned artist from the
Neo-Expressionist movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. From
1970 he studied architecture at the University of Rome, and began
to exhibit his drawings, photographs and conceptual works in
Europe. From 1973, he travelled regularly to India, and in 1981 he
moved to New York. He collaborated with close friends, notably the
poets Allen Ginsberg and Robert Creeley, and reacting against a
wave of anti-painting sentiment among critical circles, Clemente
initiated a series of collaborative paintings with Jean-Michel
Basquiat and Andy Warhol. Since the mid-1980s, Clemente's work has
been the subject of many international solo exhibitions, including;
Nationalgalerie, Berlin (1984 - 5); Kunstmuseum Basel (1987);
Philadelphia Museum of Art (1990); Royal Academy of Arts, London
(1990); Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (1994 - 5); Guggenheim
Museum, New York (1999 - 2000); Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin
(2004); Museo MAXXI, Rome (2006); Museum MADRE, Naples (2009); and
more recently at the Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt (2011) and the
Uffizi Gallery, Florence (2011). His works have also been included
in notable group exhibitions including Documenta 7 in 1982 and the
Venice Biennale in 1988 and 1995. Clemente is a member of the
American Academy of Arts and Letters. (Blain|Southern)
