Mark your calendars: Phillips de Pury & Company will present works by British artist Brian Clarke at its New York galleries from 09.13 through 10.01.08. The show -- Don't Forget The Lamb -- will feature recent paintings and stained glass works by Clarke, who is a forerunner of contemporary stained glass.

"His principle medium being light, Brian Clarke's compositions in colored glass hold the power to transform a space. His work can be found in historic locations across the globe, imbuing the interiors with renewed channels of contemplation and also in monumental glass projects which have expanded the remit of the modern architectural experience."

"Equally important to Brian Clarke's practice is painting on canvas which allows the artist the freedom to explore and build his abstract symbolic language and its syncopated order and disruptions — devices which are often applied to his compositions in glass. The work in both painting and glass aspires to the transcendental and poetic and illustrates the artist's proficiency with working across vastly different scales."

His best work, though, is the stained glass pieces. He's done some pretty incredible things. His site is a flash site, so I can't direct link you.
