A Times Art Book of the Year A beautiful and inspirational celebration of creativity by the dynamic and popular artist Mark Hearld. This beautiful book throws open the doors to the wonderfully vibrant and energetic world of Mark Hearld. He is a highly versatile artist, using a wide range of media and design projects to explore his love of nature, his interest in English popular art and his belief in the importance of living life visually. Hearld's exuberance, the endless inspiration he finds in the natural world, and his unbridled passion for making are evident on every page. Featuring his distinctive collages, textile designs, linocut prints, wallpapers and sculptures (to name just a few), Raucous Invention is a celebration of - and insight into - Hearld's recent work and extraordinary creativity. As Alan Powers explains in his introduction, `this art is imperfect in the best way, messy and not prone to explaining itself, but the sound of singing and laughter is in the air.'
