A blind artist is determined to become ‘as famous as Picasso’ – and hopes to inspire a new generation as he does so.
The-then six-year-old became enamoured with a painting called ‘The Yellow Cow’ by the artist Franz Marc.The same year, he lost the sight in his right eye and was later diagnosed with the degenerative condition retinitis pigmentosa.Clarke encourages people to touch and interact with his Braille-inspired pieces
‘We had the exact same upbringing, which was horrible, but I found art and everything that has happened to me came from that. Art has always been the context.’Clarke went on to experiment more with his art – using different textures and light to shape the experience of both him and the person viewing the piece.
Clarke hopes to sell enough art to be able to move from his council flat, where he has to carry his daughter up several flights of stairs due to not having a lift, which he does this with minimal sight on a daily basis. He pushes the boundaries of what Braille was intended for using the English language and how we say words, their descriptive power and using dots, often in neon form as a vessel to bring that word to life.
