Andre Clements

South African 1973 

André S Clements (1973, Pretoria) integrates a broad spectrum of contexts and modalities in his practice, striving for a balance between the traditional, especially atelier-based disciplines and contemporary technological affordances in artistry. André is a husband, father, artist, developer, occasional activist, programmer, photographer and facilitator. Having exhibited in Johannesburg (South Africa) and Bordeaux (France) his work features in various private and corporate collections both locally and internationally as well as featured in various arts and culture publications, most recently in Herri 7.

“I make pictures. (I also like layering, integration, hybridisation, things like ontological integrity, sensitivity, kindness, skill, connection and creativity; which I understand as nurturing new or different relationships between previously un-, or otherwise related elements towards desirable outcomes. Figuring out, finding... the last part of that definition, the ‘what is worth pursuing?’ is the hardest part, and also the most interesting to me and arguably the most valuable. Sometimes, in some ways, perhaps that is what art is about - the appreciable manifestation of creativity. What is desirable? Vita-socio-anarch : life, communion, non-domination or love.)

“Sitting... ‘zazen’... being with what is.
