    About this ebook

    Collage has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity during the twenty-first century, resulting in an explosion of creativity. This showcase of cutting-edge contemporary art from across the globe features galleries of collage by 30 practitioners, from the surreal landscapes of Beth Hoeckel to Fabien Souche's humorous appropriations of pop culture. Each artist has also created a new piece especially for this book—all using the same original image, but with results as wildly diverse as the medium of collage itself. This collection is visual inspiration for art lovers and an appreciation of the transformation of old into new.

      FOREWORD

      BY ANTHONY ZINONOS

      The very first collage I remember making was a ransom note to my parents. The note read: We have your children—send £2,500,000. My sister and I never did receive that money. We hid in the back garden for a few hours until we got bored and hungry, then returned to the house acting as though nothing had happened. This has stuck in my memory, not just because of the unimaginable things the ten-year-old me planned to do with my share of money, but also because the process of leafing through stacks of magazines and newspapers trying to find the correct letters to make the note got me hooked.

      I have always been drawn to process-heavy art making, spending hours in darkrooms printing photographs, prepping silk screens and plates for printing or working on sheet after sheet of a great big pile of papers to later capture and make an animation that lasts for only twenty-five seconds. The obsessive-compulsive side of me—the side that likes order and organization—grabbed onto the medium of collage and ran for the hills. I discovered that the constant searching for and collecting of new materials to use, and the numerous hours spent trying to sort and arrange cut images, had my name written all over it.

      Over the last few years it seems that a collage boom has been taking place, a rise in popularity that has led not just to an increase in people making collage but to an influx of exhibitions, books, and blogs showcasing the diversity of the medium. Collage is earning a well overdue level of respect as a legitimate art form, instead of being thought of as just something for children to dabble with in their early school years. The basic idea of an artist needing to draw, paint, or sculpt is thrown out the window, and the scissors, scalpel, and glue are welcomed with open arms.

      I feel very lucky to be a part of this expansion in collage’s popularity. It has given me the opportunity to take part in exhibitions throughout the world—showing my work in small cities like Norwich in the United Kingdom, to more exotic metropolises such as Quito, the capital of Ecuador. It has also helped me to achieve commercial success as a collage illustrator. I could not be happier making collages for a living. It enables me to do the work I love every day of the week. Before the current renaissance, my own collage process was slightly frowned upon by my tutors and peers during my art school years. Only after graduating did I discover the tight-knit family of other collage artists that was flourishing online. These artists provided inspiration and encouragement and were always willing to share their process tips, methods, and work. There is something about collage that breeds collaboration. Indeed, it seems to be the perfect medium for collaborative projects. Working together with other collage practitioners opens the artist’s eyes to the different processes and methods employed by others and teaches the individual about his or her own work, and how it is read and perceived by others.
