About Nocturne in Blue


Nocturne in Blue is based on a 2024 work on paper by Clarke, in which he turned to the incredibly intimate format of collage to capture the nature around him. Using his scissors to “draw from life”, Clarke translated elegantly arranged blooming buds onto paper. From a vibrant blue vase, expressive pink flowers and verdant green leaves emerge, the liveliness of their forms emphasised by the visible fluidity of the paint.

Collage had always been central to Clarke’s career, including in the creation of his stained glass. Reflecting on the significance of the medium, Clarke commented, “Collage was, in a way, a key that unlocked the door that led to a new kind of freedom. A freedom in which we were no longer concerned with how things appeared, but just how things were.”

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.
