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\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":"RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":43060457504857,"sku":"PR916135","price":101.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2551\/5502\/files\/image_TIBJ3HHYEZ8U.jpg?v=1770917015","url":"https:\/\/smartfox.co.nz\/products\/daniel-clarke-long-island-works-on-paper","provider":"SmartfoxNZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
