Clive Hicks-Jenkins (born 11 June 1951) is a Welsh artist known especially for narrative paintings and artist's books. His paintings are represented in all the main public collections in Wales, as well as others in the United Kingdom, and his artist's books are found in libraries internationally. A retrospective exhibition comprising some 200 works from across the artist's career loaned from public and private collections was held by the National Library of Wales in 2011 to coincide with his sixtieth birthday.[1] A substantial multi-author book devoted to his work was published by Lund Humphries in 2011, in which Simon Callow called him "one of the most individual and complete artists of our time".[2]
