> Peter Clark - Showing Off: 2 December – 24 December 2009 AT Conway Street, London
Paperwork is the first fully illustrated book on the work of eccentric collage-artist Peter Clark, providing a unique insight into his fascinating career. His work has been exhibited in Paul Smith stores in New York, LA, and Milan, the Rebecca Hossack Gallery in London and at art fairs around the world.
Old maps, love letters, stamps, playing cards, match boxes, rosettes, buttons and labels all form the starting point of Clark’s innovative and often humourous paper collages. He undertakes scavenger trips to antiques fairs, markets and second hand stores to find the right objects to inspire him. Paperwork presents the working methods of this unique and talented artist, showing the progression of his work from found ephemera to amazingly detailed, colourful and engaging works of art.
Paperwork will be officially launched at Peters new show- Showing Off. Which will begin at Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery Conway Street, on the 2nd December until the 24th December2009. Both artist and author will present for signing.
