RAYVENN D'CLARK

Rayvenn D'Clark (b. 1995), a London-based digital sculptor, writer and researcher has gained international recognition with her works exhibited alongside renowned artists such as Tracey Emin, Ai Wei Wei, Joseph Beuys, and Banksy. Her art has been praised and acquired by international private collectors, and she has showcased her work in prestigious institutions like Carl Freedman Gallery, Gucci Circolo Shoreditch, Mall Galleries, Royal College of Arts, Victoria & Albert Museum, and Saatchi Gallery. D'Clark has also made appearances on art shows like "Next Big Thing" (Jan 2021), Arte TV (Jan 2023), and BBC Live, discussing the importance of supporting emerging creative talent in the UK and addressing sector inequalities with sustainable business models.

D'Clark's practice explores the nuances of black identity that pivot between hyper-visibility and invisibility. Aware that monuments and public sculptures are never of women of colour, D’Clark wants to celebrate her anonymous peers: commemorating hidden figures in the public realm. Influenced by body politics theory, she proposes observing the uniqueness of individuals, going beyond the mass considerations of communities. Her innovative oeuvre bridges the gap between tradition and technology, blending digital and traditional artisanal techniques to create sculptures depicting complex representations of black anatomy.
