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 (with an IQ in the 40-50 range), 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 1.986 he had a premiere exhibit in Aspen, Colorado.
His works have sold for as much as $45,000.
