About Steven Claydon BIO.

Steven Claydon is drawn to the often-overlooked moments in history where art interfaces with politics. His paintings include references to Vorticism, with his sculptures and posters referring to monuments and memorials from the turn of the last century. His work has a faux-antiquated feel, often with the artist deliberately attempting to distress the works, imbuing them with their own sense of history. Recent exhibitions include a solo statement at Art Basel, a solo show at White Columns, New York and ‘Rings of Saturn’ at Tate Modern, all 2006. Claydon lives and works in London and is represented by Hotel, London

Claydon’s portrait is a composite of three heroic busts of political figures from this time, each embodying radically opposing beliefs. Through this literal hybrid, Claydon incites the current revivals of genetic engineering and post-modern eclecticism as plausible validation of Frazer’s theories.Claydon reinforces his sculpture’s historical stature while belying its association with outdated fashion. The peacock feather operates primarily as a formal device, adding a surreal and dilettantish air to the impoverished authoritarian relic.Claydon exhumes the ‘veritas’ of artifacts, undermining their value and truth through his witty and complex material juxtapositions.

  • The AI chain of schools doesn't have a good rep in the industry. FIDM, which is big and popular, also has a poor rep. The best fashion design program in CA is at Otis College of Art, in Los Angeles.

  • It sounds like a unique and novel idea…but may I ask if it would not just be more simple to make the outdoor cat into an indoor cat and keep him safe and warm in your home?

    Did you know that, in addition to the cold, your outdoor cat faces many hazards? It can get hit by a car, attacked by other cats, dogs or wild animals, be poisoned, fall victim to cruel humans who torture helpless animals, get lost, contract diseases (that it brings home to you), become infested with parasites (which it can also bring home to you), it can caught in traps set for other animals and may become injured or suffer before being released, and – if not spayed or neutered – can contribute to the overpopulation of feral/homeless cats.

    Please read "The Great Outdoors is No Place for Cats" and make the decision to give your kitty a safe, warm, loving indoor life: http://www.abcbirds.org/abcprograms/policy/cats/materials/hazards.pdf

  • If there is a community theater in your area, volunteer there. Or your local community college. You may not get paid, but if you do that this summer, you can put something on a resume and maybe get paid next summer.
