Clive Barker (via Abby Sweet)

Clive has always drawn and painted alongside his writing and other creative work. His larger scale oil paintings have come to greater prominence in recent years through publication of the Abarat volumes, but his wider range of work has been celebrated in gallery exhibitions in New York and Chicago and in several galleries in the Los Angeles area. They have also been showcased in the two Illustrator books (1990 and 1993) and in 2005's Visions of Heaven and Hell.
On rare occasions over the years, Clive has allowed film crews and photographers into his studio to watch him paint or to capture the place where works are created.
With thanks to Clive for allowing us to share in that experience, here we collect some images of the artist at work.
