Gary Andrew Clarke is a Stockport-based painter and graphic designer who trained in Graphic Arts at Manchester Polytechnic between 1989 and 1991. His practice is rooted in the principles of geometric abstraction and hard-edge painting, frequently employing structured grids and bold color palettes. Clarke first gained significant attention for his 2009 series which distilled iconic artworks into minimalist arrangements of colored circles. His work is heavily influenced by the 'naively futuristic' aesthetics of 1970s science fiction and the 'Chance and Order' experiments of Kenneth Martin. This intersection of mathematical precision and retro-futurism has led to notable collaborations within the music industry, including the creation of official gig posters for The Strokes and cover art for Jane Weaver.
