McLean trained at St Martin's School of Art in the mid 1960's. The sculpture
class was taken by Anthony Caro who was by then producing immense floor
based abstract sculpture. His sculpture pupils at this time included Gilbert
and George and Richard Long, as well as McLean. They all went on to produce
strikingly different work from their teacher. McLean's work was inspired by what seemed to him to be the performance going on around sculpture often more interesting than the sculpture itself. He thus became known as a performance artist and has also dabbled in film, ceramics and artists' books. He started painting seriously in 1981, during a residency in Berlin and then in Japan. His painting includes echoes of many different styles, whilst continuing to question and to mock. |
