Peter Madden
Peter Madden is an Auckland-based collage artist who creates heavily detailed, surreal microcosms that seem to leap out of their two-dimensional frameworks. Madden, toils away with old issues of National Geographic and an exacto knife, freeing colorful birds from there pages. Using positive and negative space composition his mosaics taunt the eye. Madden’s spindly chairs house the fantastical world he creates while in another sculpture the collaged birds seem to lift the chair from feeble legs. Yet another example of an artist that has never understood boundaries, and the art world is grateful for it.
