Art Brokerage: Ivan Clarke New Zealand Artist: Ivan Clarke is a well-known artist living in the beautiful Southern-Lakes region of New Zealand. His dramatic oil paintings are exhibited in his central Queenstown Art Gallery as well as the USA, with collectors from over forty countries. Ivan's works express over thirty years of interpreting on canvas the majestic landscapes of his homeland New Zealand. As a landscape painter, Ivan is privileged to live immersed in the powerful landscape of what is becoming known as 'middle-earth', New Zealand. Famous scenes from Peter Jacksons Lord of the Rings Trilogy have been filmed adjacent to Ivan's home. Ivan started imitating his Dad at the easel when he was just a boy, on rainy days, Ivan went on to make this pastime into an enterprise, never letting on to the public that the artworks they were buying were painted by an eleven year-old. His "art dealer" (friend of his Fathers) kept that little secret as well. Ivan grew up and learned the family trade of sign painting, illustration and commercial art, his talent was show-cased on everything from surfboards, billboards to high-rise buildings.nIvan Clarke illuminates his subjects with vibrancy and vitality. His landscapes and florals are done in a traditional, academic technique that emphasizes light and how it falls on the subject. Clarke triumphs, as a virtuoso painter capable of handling great subtleties of detail and atmosphere with no apparent effort. Listings wanted.
