Virginia Clarke

Virginia Clarke (VIRGLO) was born and raised in Cape Town South Africa. She currently lives in Cape Town with her husband and two children.

Her work exudes abstracted images of urban and rural life. Drawn to abstract art from childhood she hails Matisse, Pollock and Turner as some of the artists that has influenced her free flowing style of painting. She employs various mediums from impasto to acrylic gels and any household implements which might lend texture to an artwork. Continual observation of the environment and colour serves as a catalyst to invoke new ideas onto canvas.

She is largely self-taught.

She has participated in several group exhibitions with the Blaauwberg Art Society in Cape Town. Some of her works are part of collections in countries such as Germany, Canada, Australia and South Africa.
