James Skiepe Clark is a Nigerian artist living and working in Luxembourg. James studied
in a general arts course which gave him the opportunity to work in a variety of materials
associated with his environment. He majored in sculpture but now works with many
mediums form oil and acrylic to working with metal and clay.
Scraps and waste objects that I see daily has greatly influenced my work, I see through
thin lines and shadows and work in these directions saving nature and motherland.
Soccer and Arts are my passions in life. I use both talents in creating awareness and
assisting young and abandon children/people. I have a charity organization call the Loners
World in collaboration with THE BRIDGE in the Niger Delta of Nigeria helping the lonely
ones that are in need and abandoned.
The footy fun club ASBL / Afrolux here in Luxembourg known by many of our students, is
doing a similar thing building mini play grounds for children while sensitizing people about
stigmatized and abandoned children in the Niger Delta of Nigeria.
I have agreed to showcase some of my pieces with our students and I will be talking to
several groups sensitizing them about our shadows and the environment.
If you wish to view his work it will be on display in the Hillside Building up until the winter
break.
