George Clement: composer, photographer, printmaker, and painter

GEORGE CLEMENT graduated from the University of Victoria’s Fine Arts program in the Visual Arts (graduation with distinction) and was fortunate to have world renowned artist, Pat Martin Bates as a mentor. He has been involved in the visual arts and music ever since his graduation, often blending the two. He pioneered productions mixing music and photographic visuals using multiple programmed projectors at the University of Victoria’s University Centre Concert Hall, one production being synchronized with live performance by the University Orchestra. After finishing a post graduate scholarship in Copenhagen, Denmark, his art was in many international juried and invitational shows in Yugoslavia, Poland, England, Japan, USA.and in various locations across Canada. Working as a professional photographer, he produced masterful land and cityscapes, finding abstraction in nature as well as in concrete and steel, but always having the preference for unadulterated nature in all its glorious forms. Since the mid 1980’s he entered the computer world, using computers to notate original orchestral and chamber music, and at the same time continued with his photography, painting, and works in other media.
