Sir Brian Clarke (1953–2025) was a leading British painter and architectural artist, widely celebrated for revolutionizing the medium of stained glass and integrating it into modern architecture. Born in Oldham, Lancashire, he started art school at just 12 years old and came to prominence in the late 1970s, known for his prolific output and work across various media including painting, sculpture, and mosaic. Clarke believed strongly that art could transform consciousness and aimed to bring the "liquid, fluid, transparent colour" of stained glass into daily experience, moving it beyond traditional religious contexts.
His work is characterized by significant technical innovation, such as pioneering stained glass without the use of lead lines and, conversely, creating sculptural works made almost entirely of lead, pushing the boundaries of the material's potential for both transparency and opacity. Throughout his five decade career, Clarke collaborated with some of the world's most renowned architects, including Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, and I. M. Pei, on monumental projects across the globe. Notable works include the vast glass wall at the Al Faisaliah Centre in Riyadh, the towering Stamford Cone in Connecticut, and the soaring dove motif at the apex of the Pyramid of Peace and Reconciliation in Kazakhstan.
Beyond architectural installations, Clarke's diverse artistic practice included designing stage sets for Paul McCartney's world tours and creating the cover painting for the album Tug of War. A significant part of his later work involved creating free standing, folding glass screens, which function as autonomous, portable artworks that interact dynamically with light and space, rather than being fixed to a building's structure. Appointed the sole executor of the Estate of Francis Bacon in 1998, Clarke was involved in donating Bacon's entire studio contents to the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin. He was knighted for his services to art in the King's 2024 New Year Honours list, a fitting recognition for an artist who profoundly influenced the architectural art form and left an indelible mark on the world.

____________________

Damien Hirst is a British artist whose name has become shorthand for audacious contemporary art. Born in Bristol in 1965, he grew up in Leeds and later studied at Goldsmiths, University of London, where he emerged as the leading figure of the Young British Artists movement in the late 1980s. Hirst first garnered attention with his installation “A Thousand Years,” featuring a rotting cow’s head and a life cycle of flies, setting the tone for a career that would continually probe the boundaries between life, death, beauty and commerce.
His most iconic works include the spot paintings, endless grids of brightly colored dots that question mechanical reproduction and artistic authorship, and the formaldehyde preserved sharks, sheep and calves that confront viewers with mortality in a clinical gallery setting. These pieces, often produced with the help of a large studio team, sparked debates about originality, the role of the artist and the commodification of art itself.
Hirst’s 2008 auction, “Beautiful Inside My Head Forever,” bypassed galleries and sold directly to the public, raising over £111 million and breaking records for a single-artist sale. Beyond the market, he has explored themes of belief, medicine and spirituality through installations like the diamond encrusted skull “For the Love of God,” and the monumental Venice exhibition “Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable,” which presented fabricated artifacts as if salvaged from an ancient shipwreck.
Despite critical divides, Hirst remains a cultural force, expanding into restaurants, NFTs and philanthropy while continuing to examine what it means to create, collect and confront the inevitable end.
