Brian Clarke’s stained glass folding screen Chill Out takes inspiration from the catacombs outside of Subiaco in Rome. In the 2020 catalogue Brian Clarke: The Art of Light, Paul Greenhalgh writes: "A giant store of skulls, the screen confronts us with the timeless ubiquity of death and presents the silent anonymity that follows the chattering individuality of life."

In a conversation with Robert Storr in Brian Clarke: Night Orchids (2016), Clarke explains his attraction to the skull, a recurring motif in his work: "Not to constantly remind oneself of mortality is to reduce the intensity and urgency of the living moment. It is an essential part of the human condition."

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. Chill Out exists in an edition of 10 unique variants plus 3 artist’s proofs, published by HENI.
