Awesome Animals: Clare Youngs

Clare Youngs is a contemporary British artist who creates wonderful animal collages. Collage is a type of artwork where different materials, like paper, fabric, and other objects, are stuck together to make a picture. In Youngs’ animal collages, she uses a variety of colourful papers, magazines, and even fabric to create beautiful images of animals. She cuts out different shapes from these materials and then arranges them together to form the shape of an animal. She might use patterned fabric for a zebra’s stripes or textured paper for a bird’s feathers. This gives her collages a unique and lively appearance. When you look at Clare Youngs’ animal collages, it’s like seeing animals come to life through vibrant papers. Each collage is a unique piece of art that captures the beauty and spirit of the animal it represents.
