Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery Conway Street saw the opening of the fabulous new exhibition by the renowned collage artist Peter Clark. The show marked the launch of Peter's fantastic new book Paperwork and was enjoyed by everyone who went.
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.
