WORKS ON PAPER AND BOOK ART

Having been a “black book” artist since the late 1970s, he officially entered the realm of the artist’s book in 2009 with the exhibition of his unique sculpture/book, RED ROCK, BLACK SUN, at the international Codex Book Fair in Berkeley and subsequently shown at the Donna Seager Gallery in San Rafael. The graphic-novel-style RRBS was adapted for print and published under the Wonderella imprint. In 2011 he produced an animated video from the book’s digital files, adding an original soundtrack and narration, which won him recognition from SF Weekly Magazine as one of ten Bay Area “Masterminds” in art.

In 2006 Cloughley was given a major one man retrospective that included his Box Collage series, mixed media works on paper, black sketchbooks, and media shows at Gallery 276 in San Francisco.
