John Clement, United States
BD. 1969 –
Painted tubular steel
488 cm x 274 cm
Jasper is a whimsical sculpture by Brooklyn-based artist John Clement. His trademark steel spirals with bold primary colours invite all ages to touch and play. The turns and loops challenge the inherent properties of rigid steel, implying movement and a sense of twisting right out of the ground.
John Clement’s career has soared since his inclusion in the 2005-2007 Vancouver Biennale, when he was the youngest of the exhibiting artists invited to participate. He has subsequently exhibited in the 2008 Biennale in Ube, Japan and has had exhibitions in Paris, Zurich, New York, and won numerous public art competitions throughout the United States.
This sculpture is on long-term display through the generosity of the Vancouver Biennale Legacy Foundation
