A contemporary Italian-born and American-based artist, Francesco Clemente is celebrated for his distinctive sense of color and his deeply personal visual lexicon that subsumes eclectic narratives, rituals, ideas, and symbols. Working across oil painting, installation, and watercolor, he seeks to collect images and references from different contemplative traditions and connect them with the emotions from the present-day, and common experiences.
