Brian Clarke’s Seville is his first work from his series of lead-free stained glass folding screens, which do not require the lead cames that traditionally link and support panes of stained glass.

In the 2020 catalogue Brian Clarke: The Art of Light, Paul Greenhalgh writes of Seville:

‘Seville plays on archetypal imagery with regard to the place: orange trees bloom against a deep blue background that simultaneously stands for sky and sea. Our first – and perhaps last – response is one of joy and plenty, of celebration of the lushness of the earth, and the leg- endary richness of Spanish flora. The artist knows Seville intimately. He has a home there, which accounts for the underlying feel of the screen, the joie de vivre that flows out of every square centimetre.’

Seville exists as unique variants in an edition of 10 plus 3 artist proofs published by HENI.
