Peter Madden
Peter Madden has become an undisputed master of the art of collage. He draws much of his imagery from old issues of National Geographic, plundering and reworking its discredited ’empire of signs’ to forge his own. His surrealistic pictures, objects, and installations have a watchmaker level of detail and intensity. They have been described as ‘microcosms’ and ‘intricate kingdoms thick with flying forms’. Madden has exhibition nationally and internationally and is represented in New Zealand by Ivan Anthony Gallery, Napier.
