Alonzo Clemons

Who is Alonzo Clemons?

Alonzo Clemons is an American animal sculptor and a savant. He lives in Boulder, Colorado.

Clemons suffered a severe brain injury as a child that left him developmentally disabled, but able to create very accurate animal sculptures out of clay. Clemons can create a sculpture of almost any animal, even if he has seen only a glimpse of it. He is also able to create a realistic and anatomically accurate three-dimensional rendering of an animal after only looking at a two-dimensional image for mere moments. He is most well known for his life-size renderings of a horse, but most of his works are smaller, and accomplished in less than an hour.

In 1986 he had a premiere exhibit in Aspen, Colorado. His works have sold for as much as $45,000.
