Clark’s portraits represent a powerful image. Many of them look photorealistic. The quality of his portrait drawings is something that I admire. When I look at Clark’s portraits, I see a powerful gaze from the subject. Each of the people looks like they have a story to tell. The people within his work are placed in a setting that does not distract from the gaze of that person, but adds to the overall image.
