In ‘Order & Chaos’ (G2-17, 2018), a stained glass folding screen, Brian Clarke juxtaposes a rigid pattern of red bricks with flowing blue flowers, their abstract petals covering the work’s upper section. Its title seemingly suggests that the emotional power and abundance of natural forms constitute the chaotic counterpart to the order of anthropocentric architecture. This relationship is emphasised by the serene balance of colours, which transforms a figurative composition into an intellectual reflection on colour relations and geometrical structures.
