Peter Clarke (South African 1929-2014) RING-A-RING-OF-ROSES signed, inscribed 'Oslo' and dated 24.10.1978 mixed media on paper PROVENANCE Acquired directly from the artist and thence by descent to the current owner 48cm by 64cm Peter Clarke was invited to work at the Atelier Nord in Norway from October 1978 to the end of January 1979. Below his signature in Ring-A-Ring-Of-Roses, the artist has written ‘Oslo’ next to the date, 24.10.1978. While away in Norway, distance brought a different perspective of his home and a number of the works made while at Atelier Nord depicted South Africa. Ring-A-Ring-OfRoses is an example of a work made in Norway but portraying South African subject matter. To Clarke, Norway epitomised an ordered, contrastingly clean life and an organised society in comparison, however during his time there the artist found that he missed the ‘spontaneous warmth that makes a population alive.’ An example of this spontaneity and warmth can be seen in the expression depicted on the children’s faces. A great observer of the world around him, Clarke often represented children playing games, whether it was with a yo-yo, a windmill, a cricket match played in the street, or in this case the classical game of ring-a-ring-of-roses, which is a popular nursery rhyme commonly found on South African playgrounds. Many know the game and the accompanying song to represent the Great Plague of London, known as the Black Death, although this has never been confirmed. In its game form however, it takes on a jovial nature as depicted by the broad smiles on the faces of the girls in the present work. The painting depicts a group of four children, happily playing the game, by holding hands and dancing in a circle. The colour of the sky and the foreground are painted in various shades of rose-pink. The foreground and background are divided by a thick band of blue representing a wall. The vast landscape is interrupted only by a single electricity pole. A grey, ominous shadow leaks out from below the playing children. During his long career Clarke experimented with a variety of materials. In this mixed media work the artist has overlaid sections of fine gauze bandage (used traditionally for both damage and repair) on top of the blued wall. The gauze extends to just behind the children, who are surrounded by a halo of white. During his stay in Norway, Clarke made works of a larger scale, paintwork that was freer and used strips of coloured paper collage rather than brushwork, to portray clouds. The pink striations in the sky of Ring-A-Ring-of-Roses are created using pieces of paper, their torn edges forming a white lining around the clouds. Strips of silver paper are also incorporated into the sky for this effect. The bright pink sky brings to mind another popular rhyme; ‘Pink sky at night, shepherd’s delight’ meaning that the bright pink sunset signals that the following day will be clear and sunny. This delight is once again expressed on the faces of the dancing children. This work is about finding the silver lining in an area where circumstances seems to be dire, in this case the warmth of the people in South Africa, despite the political turmoil and socio-economic hardships faced by Clarke’s community.
