Opening with a conversation between art critic Robert Storr and Brian Clarke, Brian Clarke: Night Orchids is a full catalogue of the ‘Night Orchids’ series of works on paper – drawings, watercolour paintings and collage – published to coincide with the exhibition of the same name at Pace Gallery, London.

Clarke explains this series:

‘The physicality of paint and its natural progress towards not existing is a simulacrum for human experience. Drawing brings heightened awareness of both reason and instinct. The process, the routine of working, is as important as the resulting objects and I do at times fall into a workmanlike state of grace. Lost in line I happen upon moments in which I feel more intensely connected to being part of the world.’
