The Artists

Clive Morris

I am 45 years old, married with three children. I have been involved in the arts all of my life, painting, sculpting and music. Two years ago I sold my business and was in a position where I was able to dedicate my time to doing what I am doing now.

Between the ages of 16 to 25 I was in two rock bands. We played all of the London and other UK City clubs, pubs and universities. After meeting the lady who was to become my wife I had to get a real job! I started a business, which led me to be continually innovative. Is this not what art is?

My interests are raising money for children’s charities, soccer, cycling, swimming, traveling to remote parts of the world and supporting my wife's and children’s activities.

My favorite artists are Salvador Dali, Antoni Gaudi, Stanley Spencer and Ben Lowe.

 

Steve Wood

Like Clive I have always been frustrated by the need to follow a conventional career in business rather than do what I want to do.

Dissatisfied with my “lot” I decided to join Clive on a creative adventure which was destined to change my life forever and for the better.

Married for 21 years to Lisa I have two children, 19 years and 16 years old. I have managed to confuse all three with my new life but at the same time they all support me and I would like to thank them for that.

My favourite artists are Dali, Escher and Michael Cooper.

“Art is the most powerful force I have encountered”.

 

The Twins

We have been friends for over 20 years and became known as Twins, due to our disparate heights, ever since the film of the same title was first shown in the UK.

Motivated by our dissatisfaction with our mundane and unfulfilling business lives we decided to embark on an art career after an inspirational trip to the Tate Modern in London. It was here that we were exposed to conceptual modern art at first hand and it was here that we decided that “we really could do better” by producing art that everyone could relate to and be inspired by.

British modern conceptual art alienates the “man in the street” who recoils from it because, like most of us, “he” cannot understand it. The unbalanced media attention it receives makes celebrities out of artists with little or no talent at the expense of other very talented artists who do not have the promotional budget needed to succeed in today’s sensationalist art market.

We hope that our art will help change this terrible injustice.
