Collage is central to Mark Hearld’s artistic output, not only as a medium but as a process that is firmly rooted in twentieth-century art. Collage was a technique used by Matisse, Picasso and John Piper to introduce abstraction into their images. Mark similarly uses this means of abstraction, combined with his traditional academic training and careful observation, to inform his creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"full\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMark Hearld studied illustration at the Glasgow School of Art before completing an MA in Natural History Illustration at the Royal College of Art, London. He lives and works from his eclectic and iconic home in York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheatrical, creative, immersive, he is also a great believer in artist collaboration, and he regularly works with other artisan printmakers and creators. Hearld takes inspiration from the natural world, particularly British flora and fauna, the fox and chicken, hedgerow, and songbird. He works across several mediums; his paintings, collage, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, designs and motifs are drawn from a lifetime of looking at pattern books, popular prints, primitive art and the poetry of Blake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Art Angels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52869567709530,"sku":"MH3303X","price":2.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/5347\/9002\/files\/MH3303X.png?v=1764239721","url":"https:\/\/spruceshop.co.uk\/products\/winter-woodpecker-christmas-card","provider":"Spruce Interiors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
