Mark Hearld studied illustration at Glasgow School of Art and then completed an MA in Natural History Illustration at the Royal College of Art, London. His work is based on his observations of the natural world, influenced by mid twentieth century Neo-Romanticism and the gaiety of 1930s Modernism.
I really admire Mark’s loose collaged style, he combines beautifully detailed illustrations with bold brush strokes, spray paint and collage to create unique compositions. His playful, experimental style always has individual and different outcomes, each which I really love. Within my work I want to experiment more with collage, masking fluid, paints and inks to try and create more happy accidents.
