About Huw Martin Collage

Huw Martin Collage

Analogue collage curiosities for discerning folks!

Hello there, my name is Huw & welcome to “Huw Martin Collage”

As the shop name suggests, I am a collage artist that focuses on the traditional “analogue” (cutting, arranging & sticking pieces by hand rather than using a computer) method of the medium. I have always been interested in art but I only started to focus on collage when we moved up to Manchester over 8 years ago.

I love the whole analogue collage process, from forming the idea for a piece, through to selecting images & the (at times) labour intensive process of cutting out these images with scalpels or scissors. When you get into the “zone” cutting really intricate pieces it can become a surprisingly mindful process! I really enjoy when a picture can spontaneously change when you discover new images to include that then sends the project in a new direction.

Inspiration wise, I have always loved the the glamour & visuals of the 1950s & 60s. The natural world also plays a substantial part in most of my pieces, particularly plants & flowers. One of the things that I love most about working in the collage medium is how easy it is to add a touch of the abstract, the absurd or the humorous to a piece.

My shop contains one off original pieces & also a selection of prints that will have limited numbered runs.

I hope you enjoy my shop.

All the best

Huw
