He creates ‘Currency Portraits’ and other collage work. You can see he makes collages out of dollar bills.
She states on her website that her work references the Dada movement of the early 20th Century and the digital manipulations of the present day. She has other collages made of repeated images on her website too, where she often distorts the human form. The amazing letter ‘A’ which looks like a building made out of windows, in one of four (A- D) created by Lola Dupre. He has done Joan Rivers out of beauty products and medicines, and Hugh Hefner out of Playboy magazines, and many more. He has created many out of candy, calling it ‘Candy Art’ I like the artworks where the materials he uses reflects the person portrayed, like Amy Winehouse below, made of pills.

Jason Mecier has created a series of collages of celebrities. How does her work look both contemporary and retro at the same time? She is best known for her work of the Weimar period, when she was one of the originators of photomontage. Hannah Hoch probably should have come earlier in the post as she is one of the greats. Check out his site by clicking the image below. They have a powerful feel as the subject stares back at you! He does ‘faux taxidermy’ too. His paper collages would be ideal for a ‘different cultures’ project. The artist below, Dolan Geiman, is new to me and I stumbled upon him when researching for this blog post. He has a great website too – click on the image to go there. I’d only recommend this to a really able student as it’s far more difficult than it looks. He recycles magazines, labels, data, and assorted found analog and digital materials to create the works on canvas. Shapes and images are hidden within the human form.ĭerek Gores (below) is a master of collage and a recycling artist. Many of his artworks are ‘human form’ or ‘bits of human’, and by that I mean lips or legs that make elaborate patterns. They often seem to have a surreal or dream-like quality to them.ĭavid Adey pins his collage onto foam panels. He is a great opportunity if students wish to combine collage with their own photographs. Please comment below if you know of collage artists that are great to use in the art classroom.īen Giles has all sorts of collages on his website. There is huge potential for them to draw sections too. They’ve enjoyed photographing themselves, collaging and combining it with stitch. I’ve found that the disturbing collages of Annegret Soltau have really appealed to my students. I’ve used this with students where they have collaged on a dark painted surface (artists black, never true black!) and then covered their collage with a layer of PVA glue. He then covers this with a thick, clear layer of epoxy resin. Working on wood he collages medicinal herbs, prescription pills and hallucinogenic plants alongside images cut from books and magazines: flowers, birds, butterflies, arms, legs and noses. I’m not sure why he’s referred to as a painter as a majority of the bits you see are collaged on. It was a great start to the lesson.īelow is the work of artist Fred Tomaselli. I once did a successful Schwitters inspired project and littered the classroom floor with bits for students to pick up. However, others argue that Picasso did it first! Schwitters collected his materials from the streets of Berlin. Schwitters is credited with being the first to do it. You can’t talk about collage artists without mentioning Kurt Schwitters (above) as he is considered to be ‘The King of Collage’. Click on any image to go to a google search or the artist’s website. There are some old favourites here and hopefully some new ones too. I’ve put together this list of collage artists to give you an overview of who you could use in the classroom with your students.
