Capturing light: stained-glass art for the modern age
When artist Brian Clarke was a young boy, he was inspired by a visit to York Minster and embarked on a life-long fascination with the art form that鈥檚 made him the most renowned artist working in stained glass in the world today.
50 years on, his work pushes far beyond traditional leaded medieval windows and have appeared everywhere from religious buildings to shopping centres, such as The Spindles in his home town of Oldham. He鈥檚 also collaborated with architects including Zaha Hadid and Norman Foster, but a new exhibition at the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich focuses on smaller, more intimate works - with a sequence of glass folding screens that reveal the radical ways he鈥檚 been pushing what the art form can do.
