JAMES CLARKE

James’ artistic career began with an interest in the Old Masters, and his work has always been influenced by the use of Chiaroscuro to create the tensions and atmospheres of his paintings.

Having a keen interest in literature and poetry, James is often inspired to paint modern versions of scenes from the works of Charlotte Bronte or Henry James, for example, or the poems of Thomas Hardy and Emily Dickinson, amongst others.

James studied Fine Art at Canterbury in Kent, and his paintings reside in collections worldwide.
