Brian Clarke

Quotes

• “Punk articulated the vitriolic disapproval by the young of the sneaking complacency in music, art, politics and perhaps most important of all - the environment.”
• “As punk rock was able to sweep the board clean in music, so must the board be cleared in visual art.”
• “Painting is a way for me to view the world as it exists and the world as it might be.”
• “When I am designing a stained glass window I am painting; when I am drawing a drawing, I am painting; when I am making the cartoon for a tapestry, I am painting; and when I am listening to music I am painting. It is the centre of everything that I do.”
• “It's not that painting is the medium with which I identify the most. Painting is the medium through which I am able to identify with anything external.”
• “It is through painting that I understand how to view architecture, appreciate the rhythm of a poem, draw pleasure from the structure of a well-composed sentence. And it is through painting that the complexity of music makes itself understood to me. It is through painting, in fact, that I am.”
