		Arty - Seaside Special		Magazine		2007		The seaside is a special place. It is of course the place where the land and the sea meet but more than that it is a place that we can get away to and become different from our normal mundane selves. Even the architecture at the seaside takes on a different look, swaggering helter skelters, modernist buildings that look like ships and little huts painted in candy colours.

Jake Clark

Clark’s paintings are populated with images of vaguely remembered holiday exploits of family groups; sketchy staged bodies in sports gear and action; and the burning clarity of gaudy hallucinated Lidos. Tableaux of organised leisure, they trigger historical associations with sports culture in the period of modernism after World War I, and critically engage with the related concept of ‘utopia’. He lives and works in London and studied at the Royal College of Art and Brighton Polytechnic. In1994 he won the Atlantis European Prize. Selected exhibitions include: 2004 James Coleman Gallery, London; Aspex Gallery, Portsmouth. 2003 Jerwood Drawing Prize. 2002 John Moores 22
