Overview
Mon Cheri
London based collage artist Peter Clark is widely known for his whimsical collage art. He uses a collection of found papers, which are colored, patterned or textured by their printed, written or worn surfaces. He shades with density of print and creates substance and movement with lines plucked from old maps or manuscripts. His pieces use mark making in an innovative and humorous way to create his subjects. From animals created from maps, labels and discarded tickets, to garments carefully crafted from gift wrapping, musical scores and love letters, Peter Clark has the rare ability to turn ordinary printed matter into exquisite works of art with character, beauty and wit. Whether at antiques fair in Sussex, or further afield to flea markets in France, USA, Japan and India, he travels far and wide to source materials for his next pieces.
