Mark Hearld- Exhibition at the Lumber room York.

The exhibition of Mark Hearld work held in the lumber room was a short but really great exhibition. There were several of his images around the room , sketchbooks and taxidermy bird and fish too which was unusual. But did suggest that he used objects like this widely in his work as reference material. I have been interested in Hearld work for a while and I have always been interested in the scale in which he creates his work. They are large scale pieces, however the detail within them is fairly simple. But I think by doing the original images large scale allows for him to be more experimental with materials ,scale and techniques used. His work could works for main thing, for example editorial, marketing, book illustration. The work aesthetic is very unique and he has an established visual signature, which is great. I also really like the the way he has combined collage and print, it is a technique that I used a lot and it was interesting to see it being used differently.
