David A. Sharman Collage Artist: On Safari

Introduction to my work

I started producing collage pieces in April of 2005. Inspired by Russian Icons and the work of German Dadaist, Kurt Schwitters, I decided to turn my hand to producing my first piece of Collage Art, 'Israel/Egypt'. I had been attending an art class that had inspired me to turn to the art of Collage, which had interested me, since reading a biography of Kurt Schwitters. It was on Saturday afternoon in April of 2005 that I sat down with several coloured magazines that I had purchased from a charity shop. Taking a face as the central theme from a carnival scene, I began to collage a mosaic of colour around the face taking different coloured pictures that were torn into scraps. The whole process took over 4 hours and when finished was mounted on painted wood and varnished. This piece has since been sold.
