Etchings

Brian Michael Clarke is a British artist whose practice encompasses printmaking, painting and sculpture with drawing at its heart. Since the 1970s he has been developing a distinctive language of layered mark-making; which is as replete with its fervent vitality as it is rich in its subtle relations of form.
