Clive Barker-medannapoleon

The iconic English writer, screenwriter, artist, photographer and filmmaker Clive Barker has established himself as a master of horror - considered a worthy successor to Stephen King and Howard Lovecraft. Many of his literary works have been named bestsellers and filmed, and feature films have won prestigious awards.

Clive Barker's biography began on October 5, 1952 in the UK. He was born at one in the morning in one of the Liverpool maternity hospitals. The future writer was born into a family of Italian-Irish descent. A father named Lin worked in the human resources department, and Joan's mother collaborated with the educational system. Besides Clive, his parents raised another child named Christopher.

Barker received his secondary education at the prestigious Quarry Bank School, from which the cult musician John Lennon graduated. Starting from his teenage years, the young man became interested in writing and editorial craft and began working for a local school newspaper. After completing his studies at school, he entered the University of Liverpool at the Faculty of English Literature and Philosophy.

When Clive was 22 years old, he formed his own musical group with friends, which he named The Dog Company. The guys played songs in the genre of "grand guignol" and performed pieces in the style of horror. In addition to this, Barker began to get involved in cinema and directed two short films entitled Salome and Forbidden. Then Clive Barker moved to London, where he began to actively engage in art, as well as writing plays and stories.

1981 was the turning point for Barker. During this period, he was busy with the design of the disc cover for the rock band The Who. After 2 years, some of Clive's works fell into the hands of the horror writer Remsey Campbell, who introduced the artist to critic and editor Douglas Winter.

In 1984, the debut collection of short stories by a novice author was published, which consisted of 3 volumes. Together, they were named "Books of Blood". In Barker's homeland, the works did not achieve much success, but American readers were simply delighted with them. The second major novel from Clive Barker's bibliography was titled The Woven World. The work was published simultaneously with the release of the director's debut of the writer "Hellraiser".

In 1990, the popular director purchased an old Georgian mansion located in London. It was here that he began work on his most beloved and large-scale series of books called "Imagika". Barker spent a year and a half creating the first volume.

At the beginning of the new decade, the author was awarded the title of Grand Master by the Horror Writers Association. At the same time, the album Pandemonium was released, which included paintings and unknown plays by Clive.

In 1992, Barker moved to the United States. Here he bought another residential property - a huge house built in the 1920s and executed in a Spanish style. Around the same time, the debut exhibition of paintings by the creative American, called the One Person Show, opened. In parallel with this, Barker was engaged in painting the interior of a nightclub in New York, Light Wisdom and Sound.

By 1998, the works of Clive Barker had already brought him worldwide popularity. Clive's genre of books and films almost always refers to "horror". Even before he started building a horror career, being a member of a musical group, he was incredibly drawn to everything mystical and otherworldly.

The first plays and short films from the man's early filmography were inspired precisely by mysterious and sinister events. Despite this, Clive also created illustrations for children's books, which well demonstrated his versatility.

In August 1999, the father of a successful director and writer named Lin died.

The American does not have a wife and children of his own, since he is a representative of a non-traditional sexual orientation.

At the beginning of the new millennium, Barker's personal life improved - he entered into an official marriage with photo artist David Armstrong.

In addition to the fact that the man is known all over the world as a talented director and writer, he gained fame as a photographer and painter: his paintings and photographs are exhibited in Los Angeles and New York.

In 2019, the writer lives in Beverly Hills with her husband David Armstrong and his daughter Nicole, who was born from the photographer's first marriage. Now he continues to engage in literary and film-making.
