Groucho Life Drawing

LIMITED SPACES REMAINING

In August, clown-of-all-trades Clapmutt enters the life room. Model, creative, nonsense pop artist, Clapmutt experiments with bold approaches to the life drawing experience, offering up emotion and absurdist narratives in his trademark lipstick and plaster bow tie, encouraging you to draw what you see instead of what you think you know.

“The clown is here to prove that creativity doesn't have to be all the time a pretty result. He believes in the principle FUN=SUCCESS and his audience has elected #mindbreaking #entertaining #emotional and #chameleon as his most characteristic hashtags.”

An out, loud and proud Queer and HIV activist, Clapmutt's work supports the HIV community as well as the sexual and mental health of future generations. Pop music, dance, acting, fashion and fine art are his weapons of choice, always aiming to do what art does best - redrawing what people think.

“POP doesn’t only stand for popular, but for POPULATION.”

Clapmutt is an international poser, having worked with artists and groups online and in person in the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium and around London. He has appeared on Channel 4's Drawers Off, posed for Getty images and been featured in Attitude magazine.

A drawing experience for all levels of ability, because, frankly, everyone can draw.

Boards, paper and materials included, but you’re welcome to bring your own.
