LeRoy Clarke

(Born 1938; Gonzales, Trinidad)

Leroy Clarke is one of the most prolific artists of Trinidad and Tobago. He was named ‘Master Artist’ by the National Museum and Art Gallery of Trinidad and Tobago.  Known for his complex and layered grand-scale paintings, Clarkes images are rife with symbolism and social allegory.  It can be said that Clarke continues in the tradition of the Cuban artist, Wifredo Lam, who once described his own work as a “Trojan horse” within western art narratives. Artists like Lam and Clarke reclaim or reinstate the Afro – Caribbean spiritual dimension into the formal experiments of early Modernist painting - Particularly that of the Cubists and the Surrealists.
