WORK presents images from Brian Clarke’s sketchbooks, which explore various themes as they evolve into “finished” artworks throughout his working practice. WORK is structured into seven volumes, six of which embrace specific themes: the fleur de lys, landscapes and seascapes, CDJ (a male figurative study), heraldry, splashes, and skulls. The seventh volume is an index for the other six volumes, showing large-scale artworks that resulted from the thematic explorations in the sketchbooks. Including oil paintings, stained glass, works in lead and mosaics, the index is, in Clarke’s words, the “parts of the sum” as evident in the other volumes. Clarke’s sketchbooks embody the poetic journey through which he explores ideas, and present a myriad of medias incorporating drawing, collage, watercolour and photography. Each volume in WORK contains a selection of images from multiple sketchbooks, and is thus a distilled vision of the lyrical investigatory processes that shape Clarke’s art.

A few protesters aside, the announcement of an industrial park in a depressed rural area is widely welcomed, bringing with it the promise of new jobs, new blood and a return to prosperity. A few miles away, in a small valley with a stream running through it, the management of a farm passes from father to son after years of wrangling between them about the way it should be run. Over time -and unnoticed by anyone -the impact of the new development on the surrounding land and the effects on the valley of the way the farm is now managed begin to compound one another. The pressures are felt most powerfully in the stream. Little by little, the small creatures that live there, and the birds and animals dependent on it, become sucked into a mute and desperate struggle for survival... With this remarkable novel, Brian Clarke brings the lives that real animals lead into focus. THE STREAM follows the dramatic events that result when, little by little, creatures able to act solely by instinct fall victim to the everyday activities of the human beings around them. There are no villains in this story. What happens occurs quite by chance. But as the drama unfolds, THE STREAM raises powerful questions about priorities and choices: about the kind of world we want -and are creating ...

Brian Clarke zählt heute zu den international bekanntesten Künstlern, die mit Glas arbeiten. Nach den Fenstern der Klosterkiche La Fille-Dieu in Romont folgten grosse Projekte mit zeitgenössischen Architekten (u. a. Pfizer Hauptsitz New York), und kürzlich Glasmalereien für die gotische Kathedrale von Linköping in Schweden. Neben den Gestaltungen am Bau entstehen stets Werke, in denen sich der englische Künstler mit besonderen Themen auseinandersetzt. Die Ausstellung der neuesten Werkserie 'Don’t Forget the Lamb' und bedeutender Zeugnisse des Schaffens Brian Clarkes aus den letzten zehn Jahren steht unter dem Zeichen des Lebens und der Sterblichkeit. Aus der Perspektive des Todes dreht der Künstler die Bedeutung der Materialien um, das Blei als Werkstoff traditioneller Glasmalereien wird zum vorherrschenden Gestaltungsmittel. Dem Memento mori stehen farbvolle Zeichen des Lebens gegenüber, allen voran die Lilien der grossen 'Glass Wall'. Das Lilienmotiv aus einem Ornament in den Fenstern der Sainte Chapelle in Paris wird zu einem Sinnbild für die lebendige Gegenwart der Vergangenheit. Der Katalog präsentiert auch zahlreiche grafische Vorarbeiten zu den Glasgemälden.
