Peter Clark

Peter Clark is a collage artist mainly he uses newspaper in his art he also concentrates on the animal kingdom in his work, although he does make pieces unrelated to them for example he created a biker jacket made of bibles, when asked about this he stated that “I try to inflict what amuses me onto my work”. Most collage artists their pieces of artwork out of newspaper or tissue paper peter Clark also uses maps and many other sources.
I like Peter Clarks work due to his variety of sources and how he manages to fit them perfectly together introducing colour and shading into his pieces. In his work I enjoy how he uses maps in his work which I believe add more character to it and I believe it also suggest a journey. Also I like the way he mixes his work with small ironic gestures. It also must be very difficult to do collage work because you have to find pieces of paper that fit in with the design.
