OM.2012.080 - Frederick Epistola -Philippines - Visual Existence through a Random Consciousness.

Mixed Media Collage - 8.5”x11”

Artist Statement:

Collage is a product of one’s vision, emotion, thoughts and juxtaposition of found objects, color and texture, all of which can emphasize the common theme of man’s social relationships, of his culture, and history. It involves the technique of assembling and combining found objects from different contexts and randomly placing them on a plane to create an imagery reflective of both spontaneity and consciousness.

OM.2012.079- Janice Mcdonald - Mischief - collage

Artist Statement

I still remember the first collage I ever made, a second grade assignment. I was enchanted by the hunt for materials and the idea of rearranging reality to suit my own sensibilities.
These days my collages are abstract -- created with fragments of paper and recycled imagery collected from my daily life and wanderings. I'm especially intrigued with the often-overlooked backgrounds and negative spaces in everyday printed materials.
The softness of ripped elements lends a painterly feeling -- any straight lines are a function of the image I've selected or a paper's edge. Compositions are not planned in advance but grow/change/evolve over time.
Collage-making has become a very contemplative practice for me. The process of deconstructing images and then re-integrating many pieces, to create something completely new, is an intuitive and ongoing visual experiment.
I love the elegance and freedom of the collage medium and am continually inspired and fascinated by the variety of work that is being produced. Happy hundred years of collage!

OM.2012.076 - Robert McGraw - USA - “Voyages: New World II”- 2.5” x 3.5” - 2012 - Materials: Acrylic paint and paper, on plastic.

Artist Statement
Collage gives me the freedom to follow where Imagination leads.
Hardware, bits of sandpaper, old floppy discs, semi-precious gemstones: If such disparate materials produce the result I want, I am free to use them (...and I have). Collage doesn't constrain my imagination.

I invite viewers to join with me in the creative process by using their imagination to complete the "backstory" of my works.
[The viewer's imagination would have more latitude if I used serial numbers rather than titles, but many viewers think works without titles are unsettling. Therefore I give titles, but they are often cryptic or sketchy.]

I find joy and satisfaction in using my imagination. I hope your imagination finds joy in creating its own interpretations.

OM.2012.074 - Suzé Gilbert - USA - Global Shortage - 4" x 6" - collage with magazine papers

Artist Statement:

When I was young I watched my Polish great-grandmother gather scraps of old worn-out clothing and by sewing those pieces together, create a utilitarian quilt. Inspired by her patience in cutting and stitching, collage brings together those disparate elements of cast- off fragments of life, whether it be magazines, clothing, letters, or books.

The process of creating a new dialogue by incorporating pieces of paper into a cohesive whole is a meditative process for me, and one that continues to engage me as printed matter declines in our technological present life.

OM.2012.072 - Goran Petmil - Green+Red collage 181/2 by 14, 2011
I am using different kinds of painted paper to create my work. This piece has one part from a magazine like photography but it is hard to see. I prefer hand work and work with paint. Some the areas look like print which gave new dimension and opened a new horizontal way to make the collage more exciting.

Artist Statement:

Ever since I came out to Long Island I started collecting found objects: small pieces of drift wood usually found on Southampton beaches and rusty metal objects from rail roads. I transform these pieces into small assemblages. Later I enjoy cutting all different woods and make medium size wooden constructions. These last couple of years collages have become very important in my work.
My process starts with painting using different paint, using larger brushes fast strucks on all kinds of white paper, second stage is cutting interesting pieces and my process of creating abstract or realistic collages is coming to most exciting moment when the creative process and assemblage becoming very important for creation of art. This process of making art for me is one step higher and more creative than usually painting or drawing, I like mixing cutting magazines with collages.

Statement:
I'm relatively new to assemblage per se, but for me it seems to be
coming from a number of existing projects, interests, and influences:
found objects, painting, collage, junk & detritus, urban decay,
mechanical/industrial aesthetics, toys & miniatures, model building,
sci fi & fantasy. I enjoy taking seemingly useless and discardable
pieces and making them into their own little worlds.

OM.2012.060 - Rosaire.Appel - USA - 'Various Owners' - two framed 5”x7” - collages using printed papers plus ink and graphite.

Collage is such a natural activity – putting things together, turning them around, seeing what happens – I think we do it spontaneously. Cooking is like that. This is visual cooking. Collage allows me swift escape from confines of my own known gestures and mind into unpredictable territory. I’ll also add that there is such a glut of used material here – in this country, in this city, in my file cabinets - that it seems imperative to take advantage of it. Used papers are perhaps my favorite surfaces to draw on – they know a bit about life already; clean starched sheets are formidable.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I use collage to express my feelings about what I see around me. I live in the rolling rural landscape of southeastern Wisconsin in what is known as the Kettle Moraine, an area that was sculpted by glaciers eons ago. I'm attempting to capture the feeling of the land here - the austere beauty of winter to the lush palette of summer greens.

My subjects also include the wide fields not long for the developer's excavator and the disappearing barns

and farmhouses. These things are important to me and I mourn their passing. By working small I hope to draw the viewer in. I want to communicate the preciousness of what we are losing. I think it is an interesting paradox that I can use bits and pieces from my very modern life, such as junk mail and current magazines, to tell this story.

"B - 16" is a Keith Buchholz piece I got in an exchange a while ago. I added the Pope (it really needed him).

I call it B - 16 (in Bingo 16 is in the "I" column). For Benedict XVI I could have used "B - XVI", but I wanted a stronger link to the game.

OM.2012.029 & 030 - Keith Pace - USA

"Dangerous Animals" is a new piece. I am primarily using my own photographs in most of my current photomontage work. I think most people will find a connection between a rhino and an automatic firearm.

STATEMENT:
I'm attracted to collage because it is truly a universal language. Collage making is something I can do anywhere and doesn't require costly materials. Creating a collage can be as simple as tearing up old magazines and pasting together images to say something new. This process allows me to create new realities. It's magical and it is the randomness, playfulness and the unexpected results found in joining unrelated items that excite me. Collage goes against predictability. I enjoy the spontaneity and the feeling of complete freedom that it allows me.

Road Kill (A Commentary on Life in the Twos)

Collage has the immediate result of allowing the artist to experiment freely, to appreciate the joy of unlimited experimentation, and to experience the surprise of unanticipated outcomes. Following this is the possibility for application of the artist’s own inventions, skills and discipline, at any level. Making collage—a great application for artistic creation...and a lesson for living Life.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

In my work, collage is used as an investigative method to discover intersections within a strict palette of color fields, patterns, textures, and materials. Trained as an architect, I am particularly interested in the ambiguity of spatial boundaries. Collage allows for the perceptible weaving of foreground, middle ground, and background. This fluid dynamism is in tension with the apparent physical flatness of the composition.

Simple watercolor swatches provide a neutral background for the collages, which are meticulously cut, paired, and joined. Here, the goal was to use collage as a generative tool for architectural design, finding spatial relationships within the work while exploring themes of alignment, axis, overlap, layering, displacement, and multiplicity.
