“Mark Lazenby is a very good collagist in the best tradition of collage making, via Kurt Schwitters and Joseph Cornell. What makes him even more interesting though, is an interest in, and a beautiful use of typography in his work. I am a fan, and owner of a collage by him”
Sir Peter Blake

“One of the few people working with collage who continually pushes the barrier" Brian Grimwood

"Mark creates visual symphonies out of discarded bits of paper. One of my favorite illustrators working today. Stunning work that is beautiful and surprising" John Gall (Vice President & Art Director Vintage Books)

“Celebrating the supreme talents of cracking collage maker Mark Lazenby. Collage is an art-form that can occasionally carry a whiff of the emperor’s new clothes, and there’s an over-abundance of uninspiring work that seems to have little sense of itself. The knock-on effect of this is that when a real star comes along, you can spot him immediately, though we’re by no means the first to appreciate the uber-talent of Mark Lazenby. Over two decades the man has made collages for almost all the top names in media-land, from The Guardian and The New York Times to Vogue, Wired and GQ – he can also boast Sir Peter Blake as a fan. But when the work is this consistently good, we’re not ones to eschew a good old-fashioned bandwagon jumping. Mark is able to switch between dazzlingly effective communication of a single, simple idea and more convoluted pieces which hint at several narratives simultaneously, plus he uses typography in a really interesting way. Why not lose yourself in his website for an hour/afternoon?" It's Nice That, Rob Alderson

“Lazenby has turned an otherwise idiosyncratic habit of collecting 'beautiful scraps of paper' into an artistic talent" Nylon

“Mark has really found his own language, and stylistically he is pushing it ... all good risky stuff" Brian Grimwood
