Carme Magem- Collage artist

Awesome collage artist, Carme Magem, uses recycled materials, newspaper and oil paint to create captivating pieces! Her latest work is based around the cinema, featuring glamorous stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. I love the glamorous women and texture the collage creates!

Marius Markowski- Collage

Marius Markowski creates these impressive collages from torn up magazines. He also is a digital painter whose digital paintings look like they have been created with oil paint. I like his use of colour and texture in his paintings, however I am awed by his collages! The detail and realism in the final product!

Isaac Brynjegard-Bialik- paper mosaic

Isaac Brynjegard-Bialik cuts up and rearranges paper from different literary and media texts, including comics, collaging them, mosaic style, into new images using strong lines, shapes and colour. I love how the negative space creates clean lines with a mosaic effect.

"My work is visual biblical commentary; I call it “paper midrash.” I always begin with text — often bible and other traditional sources, but also the words of poets and musicians. My work is influenced by elements of the natural world and how tradition understands its connection to the Divine"

Eugenia Loli Collages

Eugenia Loli is a collage artist and film maker who creates interesting and sometimes controversial or at least conversational pieces. Some are a bit gross or scary.

"...for the vast majority of my work there's a meaning behind them. I usually do this via presenting a "narrative" scene in my collages, like there's something bigger going on than what's merely depicted. Sometimes the scene is witty or sarcastic, some times it's horrific with a sense of danger or urgency, some times it's chill. I leave it to the viewer's imagination to fill-in the blanks of the story plot. "

For example, read this detailed explanation of her Three Minutes to Nivana artwork. I love the way the new meaning or social comment can be made by combining images. Loli does this cleverly, blending images creatively to create new meaning. She achieves the "look twice" trick, which I love. I like the geometric cuts in some of the work making it look simple but still so effective in creating something new with a different meaning. It is also interesting how the titles of the works can change your perception of the concept, usually deepening the message. I think I also am attracted to her use of vintage looking images! I like so many of her works, so check out her page for more. Some are just so clever.

Very clever and eye-catching works in her Farscapes series. I love how these works can have you staring at them working out all the different parts and the new landscape they create. I love the mix of scale too!
