Paint Tubes
2010
Paint Tubes is a series of paintings created by by Brian Clarke in 2010. Including both single canvases and polyptychs, the series features large-scale silhouettes of one or more paint tubes rendered in calligraphic lines.
Paint tubes are a recurring motif in Clarke’s work, also explored in the Paint Tubes series of watercolours and collages from 2009–2010. The theme was further revisited by Clarke in his Treasures and Relics and Astragals paintings from 2011, and his All and Everything sculpture, also from 2011.
