The subjects of these works change over time but are made obsessively over periods that usually last about two to three years. Between December 2013 and August 2015 the subject was Night Orchids. The series began on a visit to Thailand and continued in France, but the majority were made at home. They are coloured paintings of startling variety. The urge that drives these nights is curiosity. As in his explorations with Fleur de Lys, Spitfires, The Cross, Industrial Architecture etc., this varied iconography--in this instance, Night Orchids--generates an apparently endless sequence of questions \"about the nature of beauty and the void in which it flourishes\". This catalogue of 267 works--introduced by an exclusive interview between Clarke and renowned American critic Robert Storr.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heni Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780993316104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 17.70h x 14.80w x 1.90d","brand":"Brian Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42520576098485,"sku":"9780993316104","price":114.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_677d6b08-2321-46ba-82fb-e8cf2b4c5cb0.jpg?v=1669129834","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/brian-clarke-night-orchids-9780993316104","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
