Peter Kennard

Peter Kennard

Peter Kennard is a London-based artist widely seen as the most accomplished photomontage artist of the second half of the 20th century. Currently, his widely praised installation and digital works are ubiquitous throughout the anti-war and anti-capitalist movements.

John Berger has said of Kennard’s collaborative work with artist Cat Picton-Phillipps:

“Peter Kennard and Cat Picton-Phillips, in these memorable images, in these images that refuse to be forgotten, go very close to the griefs being inflicted – they are still-lifes of grief, and, at the same time includes the time-scale of the mountain. They are the opposite of news flashes. They are full of history’s irony, fury and anger at the mistakes made in its name. They reveal the tawdriness of the Gang’s half-truths. They acknowledge the pain of what is happening. They might be quoting Simon Weil who wrote: “There is a natural alliance between truth and affliction, because both of them are mute supplicants, eternally condemned to stand speechless in our presence.” And they are exemplary because, in face of such inevitable speechlessness, they remind us of the need to speak out in protest, the protests of the dead and the living.”

Kennard and Phillipps’ recent work is on show until January 21st 2007: OBSCENITY at V22 ASHWINSTREET - Kennard and Phillipps’ Award is currently on show in Prints Now at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London - Peter Kennard’s photomontage work 1973-1999 is on show in Media Burn at Tate Modern, London from 16th Dec 2006 - Kennard and Phillipps are exhibiting recent work in Antennae at Houston Centre for Photography, Texas in April 2007.
