Clark Roworth
is a prolific and versatile artist from Alexandra, Otago whose skills in painting and drawing are not to be overshadowed by his skills with upholstery, hammers and tablesaws. Not only is he great with his hands, he sure can paint them!
With bulging musculature and an imposing >6ft stature he toes the line between contemporary realism and the fantastical/surreal,
constantly experimenting with new techniques and ideas.
Never one to be idle, Clark can be found at his easel, sketching somewhere around
wellington in his moleskine, napping on the beach with strangers or building impressive things, shirtless, with an apparent ease that belies his sensitivity.
