Mark Pearson Contemporary Artist
Mark Pearson – Paintings and Collages: large ornamental DIY tapestries using sheets of cheap cartridge or photocopy paper taped together and decorated in layers using stencil, spray paint and crude collage techniques based on Punk and New wave record covers of the 70’s and 80’s. Pearson’s work seeks to retain the expressive energy and vitality of these forms of communication while recognizing temporal shifts in culture that cause their redundancy. Divorced from the historical context of provocation against dominating forces in culture and society, the text and symbolism in Pearson’s raw compositions heralds the cheap mystic of various subcultures.
Sculptures: Describing his work as “testosterone-fuelled anger management,” Pearson explores themes of masculinity, class, power and British identity through the rough DIY aesthetic of his sculptures. Pearson often uses German motifs as loaded provocateurs, entwining middle England’s nostalgia for war era nationalism with the skewed values of contemporary yob culture. Posing with the exaggerated insolence of punk, Pearson’s intentionally trashy assemblages humorously reconstruct pomp and heraldry with derogatory relish.
