Francesco Clemente is an Italian contemporary artist. His work is influenced by thinkers as diverse as Gregory Bateson, William Blake, Allen Ginsberg, and J Krishnamurti. Dividing his time between New York and.

India, Clemente has adopted for his paintings a vast variety of supports and mediums, exploring, discarding, and returning to oil paint, watercolor, pastel, and printmaking. His work develops in a non-linear mode, expanding and contracting in a fragmentary way, not defined by a style, but rather by his recording of the fluctuations of the self. He reached international acclaim during the Neo-Expressionist movement in the 1980s, which emphasized a return to addressing the human condition, often through depictions of the body, in painting. After moving to New York City in 1981, Clemente began a series of projects with several American artists and literary figures, including Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Allen Ginsberg. In 1999 the Guggenheim Museum in New York launched a retrospective of his work, elevating his reputation as a highly influential and international artist.
