Clint Imboden Bio
Born 1953, St. Louis, MO
Lives in Oakland, CA
Clint Imboden is a San Francisco Bay Area based 3D artist. His sculptural work currently juxtaposes text with hand tools and toys from the mid 20th century to address social and political topics. Clint’s larger installations manifest his obsessive collecting and love of repeated forms by transforming hundreds of an object into abstract shapes.
Growing up in St. Louis, both of Clint’s parents fostered a love of collecting, kitsch and Americana in their son. Part of his weekly art making practice is visiting local flea markets to add to his collections of nostalgic blue-collar materials.
I was attracted to the messages that each artworks has. I personally focus on the empathy for the vision and message from daily bases so it was nice to feel that.
