ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is the second Cubist-inspired piece I created of my adopted town of Cordes-sur-Ciel in the Tarn region of S.W. France. Working on gesso primed MDF to provide a firm surface for precise lines this piece shows the view of the town from the market place. The overlapping shapes and extended lines conspire to provide the viewer with a composite view of the medieval settlement tied to both sky and earth. Seen from afar Cordes appears to be one huge building hugging the rock above the valley. On closer examination the complexity and beauty of the town are revealed. 'Cordism' is the name I have coined to describe this original series of work based on the townscapes of Picasso as well as the work of Franz Marc.

Born 1955 Tottenham,London. Re-located from Norfolk to Cordes-sur-Ciel, France 2015. Now resident in Coulon, Deux Sevrés, France. Stephen Clary's artistic predilections have remained constant throughout his career - an intense appreciation of natural beauty, vibrancy of colour, a certain tautness of line. As his work has developed, so has an appreciation of the way in which the eye will travel over a subject in order for it to 'make sense'. Fragmentation, transparency, multiple viewpoints, negative space are all enlisted in his work, combining to form a harmonious and resonant ensemble. He would site a diverse range of influences - Klimt & Schiele, Cubism & Futurism, Japanese painters & stained glass makers. After a somewhat turbulent seven years in France, he is finally settled in the beautiful 'Green Venice' of the Marais Poitevin. He is joyfully engaged in exploring the possibilities, 'weaving the strands together', always looking for something beautiful. Contact phone number 0033 (0) 6 13 67 79 77
