Clive Sinclair was born in Melbourne 1951.  Having studied for 12 months Clive travelled extensively throughout Europe and in 1975 studied art in London where he developed a love of the impressionists. On his return to Australia Clive resumed with Max Casey for a further two years and developed a deep interest in small, delicate watercolours inspired by Hilder, Sturgess and Clarice Beckett. The evening light which they captured in their paintings and the poetic beauty of their vision influenced Clive in his own work.

Clive is an Elected Fellow of the Victorian Art Society Melbourne, a member of the Watercolour Society of Victoria, exhibiting member of The Twenty Melbourne Painters Society and the Australian Guild of Realist Artists.

Clive teaches art throughout Melbourne and Victoria.

 ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I paint for the pure impression of capturing the light and simplicity finding joy in the wet on wet washes creating subtle impressions on the paper, movement and harmony offering me the excitement of each stroke with every mark upon the paper, often making it towards abstraction. The love of simplicity is what art and painting is for me as an artist.
