Cleveland Dean, born and raised in the Chicago area, is a multi-disciplined, self-taught visual artist. Eclectic, and interested in everything from science to psychology, his often large-scale work is awe-inspiring. His active mind is reflected in his abstract work that includes painting, mixed media, sculpture, and installations. Using unusual methods and techniques including a wide variety of materials like salt, wood, fire, cardboard, metal, and ‘anything he can get his hands on,’ he experiments with the materials, often literally lighting the work on fire (seen on his Instagram). His passion for philosophy, psychology, and religion add to his approach which all comes together presenting the viewer with a visual experience, a connection to the work that is accessible to them on several levels, intellectually, spiritually, and/or emotionally, but always as a ‘wow’.
