Michael clapper Michael clapper studios, denver

michael was educated in design at wendell Castle School in Rochester, New york. michael focuses on creating contemporary public and residential sculpture. typically working in the medium of stone, steel and light, his art conveys a natural palette of color, pattern and texture that are inherent within the materials themselves.

“I feel that my work, created mostly from carved stone, fabricated steel and light, tells its story through a visual language of dignified restraint. By using these materials I intentionally compose a natural palette of color, pattern and texture that are inherent within the materials themselves.”

the annual governor’s Arts Award recognizes a Colorado town or city for their collective efforts to enhance their community and their economy through strategic use of the arts. Aspen mayor michael ireland and Pueblo City Council President Steve Nawrocki will be presented with the awards, which are original stone sculptures by denver artist michael Clapper. the art selection panel chose Clapper for his contemporary approach to sculpture and his use of local materials. they liked the idea that each community would ‘have a piece of Colorado’. the artworks will be displayed in public locations in the respective cities and a third sculpture by Clapper will become part of the governor’s Arts Award collection and be displayed in a public building.

Colorado Creative industries, a division of the Office of Economic Development and International trade, annually convenes a panel to review the nominations. in selecting Aspen and Pueblo as the recipients, the review panel cited each city’s uniquely specific use of the arts and creative industries to enhance their communities with regard to economic and community development. they were also impressed with the diverse expression of arts in both communities that honored their individual spirit and history. The other nominated cities were Broomfield, Colorado Springs and lone tree.
