Clive Barker was born in 1940 at Luton. He studied from 1957-59 at the Luton College of Technology and Art. In 1962 he was represented at the exhibition "Young Contemporaries" at the RBA Galleries, London. In 1967 he showed in a number of collective exhibitions, including: "Salon de la Jeune Peinture", Musee d'Art Moderne, Paris, "Englische Kunst", Galerie Bischofberger, Zurich, and "Young British Artists", Museum of Modern Art, New York. In 1968 he had his first one - man exhibition at the Robert Frazer Gallery, London. He has shown at various exhibitions of British artists in Europe, and also at the exhibition "Pop Art" in 1987 in Japan. He is known for his bronze casts of inconspicuous everyday objects, painting tools and star symbols (such as Marlon Brando's cowboy boots), in which the aura of the precious metal gives the banal object a strange, enigmatic effect.
