About Daffodils
Clarke conceived these works specifically as tapestries, translating the daffodil forms from his original 2019 watercolours into a new medium. For the tapestries, he introduced deep blue and green backgrounds, against which the vibrant yellow petals and slender, tube-like stems come to life. The flowers retain the energy and spontaneity of the original watercolours, created through drips and splatters of paint, appearing alive and active. Clarke described his daffodils as “alphabets of forms”.
Speaking on his daffodils, Clarke wrote, “These pictures for me are joyous and the joy I feel in making them is only rivalled by the joy I feel in sharing them.”
Clarke frequently explored subjects derived from nature in his work, drawing on his love for spring and the English countryside. Since the creation of the daffodil watercolours, the forms have reappeared in Clarke’s work, particularly in stained glass. This includes his monumental stained glass window Concordia, installed at Bahrain International Airport, as well as works at London’s Westminster Coroner’s Court, Chiswick Mall Cottages and autonomous stained glass screens.
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.

As Daffodils is a limited-edition release, HENI tries to ensure that the tapestries are sold broadly and fairly (rather than on a ‘first come, first served’ basis). You can apply for multiple from Daffodils, however, HENI cannot guarantee that you will be offered the opportunity to buy every tapestry you apply for.
During the application process it is possible to select “Partial Allocation”, and “Alternative Allocation”.
If you selected ‘Yes’ to the “Partial Allocation” option during the application process, HENI may offer you the opportunity to purchase some you applied for, but not all. Choosing “Partial Allocation” may increase your chances of being successfully allocated.
If you selected ‘No’ to the “Partial Allocation” option during the application process, HENI will only satisfy your application if we are able to fulfil your entire application.
If you selected ‘Yes’ to “Alternative Allocation” during the application process, it means that you are willing to receive an alternative of the same size category and price if your original selection isn't available. Choosing “Alternative Allocation” may increase your chances of being successfully allocated.
If you selected ‘No’ to the “Alternative Allocation” option during the application process, you will only receive the tapestry you originally selected in your application. If your original selection isn't available, HENI will not offer you an alternative.
HENI will carefully review each application and aims to start notifying successful applicants in the coming weeks after the application period has closed.
