The way he lights his scenes turns them into places of intrigue and fascination. Though Graham Clark studied graphic design at art college he has never denied being self-taught as a painter. His graphic precision, striking colour combinations and stylish lighting put him in the realm of artists with a strong design sense, inspired by painters such as American Impressionist Ross Sterling Turner, who began his career as a mechanical draftsman in the US Patent Office – though Clark’s vision is undeniably contemporary. It’s the feeling of something unexplained, of a story as yet untold, that’s the special hallmark of Clark’s work. His landscapes often feel as if he’s just stepped ashore, not knowing quite what he’ll find. We wonder what has just happened on the twisting path between the tall trees, in Purple Fields, or in the deserted pagoda, empty of people on a summer’s afternoon, in Magnesia Well, Valley Gardens, Harrogate. That sense of mystery extends to his fascination with nature itself, and takes us to the heart of his vision. A particularly striking example is Farmhouse, Derbyshire, where we just sense that the sudden wash of light, picking out a blue door and a bright, striped wall, will last but a minute before the buildings again blend into the landscape, nestling back into the shelter of the surrounding moors.
