{"product_id":"daniel-clarke-long-island-works-on-paper","title":"Daniel Clarke: Long Island. Works on Paper","description":"Daniel Clarke began creating drawings in 2001 and they continue to be an integral part of his multi-faceted practice alongside the mediums of painting, printmaking and sculpture. Often large in scale, his drawings combine iconography from his life and surroundings with warm abstractions: here are self-portraits, figures and faces; tokens of the everyday, from a ladder, spade and bicycle, to a rocking horse, baseball glove and ball; terrace doors opening onto a view of luminous flora and an evident delight in Matisse. Typically made with a mixture of charcoal, watercolor and pastel, Clarke's drawings shimmer with color; his line vibrates; fore-and backgrounds shift, sometimes interacting with an element of collage, perhaps a map or even the front page of \u003ci\u003eLe Monde. Long Island\u003c\/i\u003e is the most extensive presentation of Clarke's works on paper to date and their first publication in book form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFresh, direct, without apology. Difficult to not think of Beckman: the line quick and intense, the figures retain a symbolism and beauty that emerge with difficulty within a saturated atmosphere that is both poignant and full of irrational situations. A European atmosphere impregnates these new works, giving place to a new realism.\u003c\/i\u003e - Annalisa Rimmaudo","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664490205220,"sku":"9783958298903","price":65.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783958298903.jpg?v=1777357847","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/daniel-clarke-long-island-works-on-paper","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
