Robert Vaughn Clifton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Vaughn Clifton (born 1970 in Alberta) is a Canadian artist. Clifton attended the University of Lethbridge in Lethbridge, British Columbia where he studied painting and printmaking, but left before obtaining a degree. Clifton moved to Montreal, Quebec in 2003.
Clifton is known for highly technical pop art-inspired screenprints that utilize multiple levels of iconographic imagery taken from a variety of sources (predominantly 15th and 16th century illustration, Renaissance art, the works of Picasso, and contemporary advertising). Clifton also is known for assemblages constructed from found items and screen prints. His works have been shown in galleries across Canada and in Europe and the United States. In 2002, he had a solo show at Yale Divinity School[1] consisting of paintings illustrating Dante's Inferno. Clifton also paints under the pseudonym A. Jacks.
