Brian Clarke: Blazing Devotion


HENI is delighted to release Blazing Devotion, a limited-edition silkscreen print by Sir Brian Clarke. The work is based on a stained glass window installed in Wimbledon, London, which Clarke considered one of the most radical and significant projects of his career. This work is part of a series of silkscreen prints made in connection with Clarke's stained glass practice, and was conceived and completed by Clarke in the final months of his life. The rest of the prints are planned to be released over the next few years.

HENI is committed to celebrating and recognising Brian’s legacy.

The Blazing Devotion edition is a 25-colour silkscreen print with gloss varnish on Somerset Satin White cotton paper and is presented in an oak frame with Optium Tru Vue Acrylic Glass. The work measures 89.8 x 139.8 cm (framed) and is priced at $2,500 (plus applicable taxes). Each work is numbered and hand-signed by the artist on a label attached to the verso of the frame.

The edition size is limited to 200 (plus 20 APs). The prints are available by application until 17:00 BST on 20 April 2026.

About Blazing Devotion


Blazing Devotion is based on a stained glass window from an architectural project installed in Wimbledon, London in 2021. Set against a vivid blue background, poppies hang on thin, dripping stems with translucent scarlet petals.

The Wimbledon window held extraordinary significance for Clarke, who called it "the key that unlocks the future for stained glass" and regarded it as one of the most radical works of his career. Etching through two flash layers where stained glass traditionally uses one, he let the composition explode beyond the picture plane, filling every inch of the surface with what he called "mystery and information and excitement."

For Clarke, the Blazing Devotion screenprint was a discovery in its own right. It was, he felt, the first time the experience of stained glass had been carried onto paper. "I've never seen a print that has made me think, even if only for a moment, that I'm actually looking at the glass. I would say it hasn't happened until now. It's not because we've made a print that slavishly copies the stained glass. It's because we've acknowledged the print has its own life to lead."

About Sir Brian Clarke


Sir Brian Clarke was an internationally acclaimed artist whose work spanned a wide range of genres and mediums.

Clarke died on 1 July 2025 at age 71. Widely regarded as the most important contemporary artist working in stained glass, across his fifty-year career he revolutionised the stained glass medium not only technologically but also philosophically, pushing the boundaries of what it can achieve. Equally important was his pictorial practice, explored in painting, sculpture, lead work, mosaic, drawing, collage and tapestry.

His unique and radical approach earned him numerous awards and honours, and his artworks have been shown in prestigious collections and institutions worldwide such as The Victoria and Albert Museum, Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Corning Museum of Glass New York and Tate London.
