G2-04 Cherry Blossom
2017
In the stained glass screen Cherry Blossom, Brian Clarke utilised the technique of Pointillism in what Paul Greenhalgh calls a "breathtaking exercise in pinks."
Greenhalgh describes the screens further in the 2020 catalogue Brian Clarke: The Art of Light:
"The blooms are in the top six panels of the screen: the bottom three have a different naturalist vision, one in which thousands of small spots and marks create an even pattern across the surface. The effect is one of a dramatically enhanced Pointillism."
This folding screen was produced with an innovative technique that eliminates the lead cames traditionally used to support and join stained glass, allowing the glass to interact freely with light and space. Cherry Blossom exists in an edition of 10 unique variants plus 3 artist’s proofs, published by HENI.
