Found Object Assemblage
Michael Mapes Pin Ups are a series of 3D assemblages made of 1950s pin-up girls consisting of fractional photos and found objects.
Vibrancy! Purple and orange put on a show but know how to step into the background for the central three-dimensional design. All of my art features upcycled items and here you will find that with dozens of vintage found objects. Measuring 18" x 14", it's slightly larger than my usual offerings. Texture plays an important role with a background built from multiple coats and spritzes of paint and waxes over several stencil designs utilizing dimensional paste. Woven into the background are pieces of Tyvek (transformed into art by yours truly), further enhancing this intricate background. On a gallery wrapped canvas, the depth of this piece is 2.5". Look closely and you will see approximately 100 embellishments - both vintage and new. Vintage items include fragment of resin wall hanging, toy plate, various metal belt pieces, assorted beads, crescent moon pendant, button, metal flower, segments of red beaded collar, large rhinestone brooch, metal decor, woven button, necklace, clock face fragments, mechanical elements, and a piece of a resin decorative container. Newer elements include buttons, metal leaves, winged heart, beaded arch, beads, arrow, and round focal point. A wire hanger is attached. With the gallery wrapped canvas and finished sides, there is no need for framing. Dimensions: 18.0" x 14.0" x 2.50" Weight: 3 lb. 6 oz If you live near Tulsa, Ok, you can find this piece displayed at Sky Gallery in the Meadow Gold District. All Assemblage Art pieces sold at Art Creations by Vicky are original works from artist Vicky Hensley and one of a kind.

2017 Topic 8: Assemblage Gerard Collas Welcome everyone, Darcy here with another topic introduction. this one is so quirky and open to limitless interpretation that you are guaranteed to have fun. This topic really does follow on from our last one. Assemblages are a cross between collage and sculpture, they incorporate found objects and purposefully bought elements. Before we start, let's see who won the Topic 7: Found Objects Challenge... The winner of Found Objects is: Chris from Loops and Lines Email Darcy to claim your prize. [email protected] I think 3d collage is the very best description for this genre of artistic expression. As with our found objects topic we owe a lot to the artists of the 20th century for giving this style a name and a definition. Artists such as Pabloc Picasso, Jean Dubuffet and Marcel Duchamp are all early exponents of this eclectic style. Here is Duchamps 'Bicycle' from 1951. Marcel Duchamp Assemblage requires a 'process' and that is the act of putting 'things' together to create a new object. From the start the style has had a slightly grungy edge to it, this is down to the components often being discarded or found objects. But there is a skill to this art style, one cannot just throw objects together, they much flow and have some harmony. this means when using found objects they should be carefully selected, just being 'found' is not enough. think about colour, shape, scale, theme.. Modern artists are still very much enamoured with this style. What do you think of this one, is it art to you? it is very much an assemblage, but the elements are very different to ones that crafters may choose. Here you can see a mattress, a cardboard coffin, a clothing rail etc. I am not sure that many craft companies will be bringing out a range of mattresses to cut up just yet, so let's look at something smaller. More vintage, but this time with a quirky twist and modern elements. Stephanie Rubiano Wings seem to feature a lot in assemblage art, they are a great way to add dimension and look great on things that would never usually have wings. Lindsay Mason Wings leads us nicely to birds, these are another heavily used element in assemblage art. They can range from real, stuffed, whimsy or outright quirky. Kim Collister How about these for quirky dudes, I adore how these have been made in tins for bodies and I may have squealed a little bit at the tiny spanner arms! Just too cute and jam packed full of details and personality. Could you use a little friend like this for your studio? Jen Hardwick This video has some great ideas for small box assemblages. This next piece is by Shirley Vauvelle, follow the link to see other fabulous pieces by her using ceramics and driftwood, aren't they a great combination? Shirley Vauvelle Perhaps you don't have space for a large 3D object, you can of course make any size that you want. However about keeping it fairly flat. you can see that this book cover does not take up as much room, but it is still very much 3d, and has had thought put into the assemblage of the elements. Georgie C Another almost flat but not really piece is this wonderful collection, carefully curated and framed it would be a wonderful piece of wall art. Bridget Hoff This next piece is so inspiring, a double spoon. Vintage, discarded objects, beautifully coloured and brought together. Trash to treasure. Branka How about some jewellery, you would never be late with a necklace like this. Recycloanalist ooh quirky dangly bits! One of these would look wonderful on an evening bag. Elizabeth Rosen This is something so simple but so effective, it is a take on papier mache. To achieve this look dip threads, yarns or strips of text into a glue and water mix and lay them over your desired shape. You can free form them or use a mould, but make sure to wrap your mould with plastic wrap first. once dried you can create your assembled suclpture. Janilaine Mainprize Some interesting thoughts on Assemblage from Gary Reef. How cute is this lil guy, bags or rather tins of personality. I just love the shoe brush hair, lol BranMixArt One last one, just because I love the use of wooden spoons. I may have to raid the kitchen draws! Can you imagine a tree like this filled with Zinski characters! Edwina Bridgeman So how will you join in, have we inspired you? I hope so, this is such a fun theme. you can raid your garages,sheds and drawers, mix and match old and new. use up embellishments, broken jewellery, cardboard, wood, grungeboard. How about adding paper beads or stamped images. Don't forget Seth Apter's wood chips, they would be perfect for adding to your sculpture.

This fancy-lady-made-fancier came from a fine art book and has been embellished with bits of jewelry, buttons, coins, stamps, and other ephemera. She's positioned in a heavy, gold resin frame that can be hung on a wall, or displayed on a table top. She's been exhibited in a gallery setting, but is now finally ready for her forever home!

I came across mixed media/found object artist, James Michael Starr before the holidays and have been thinking about his work ever since. His statement: I find the aged and battered objects commonly employed in assemblage and collage to be both beautiful and moving, but am weary of their tendency, as art mediums, to take themselves so seriously. I hope to tweak that somberness and agenda, and make works that are more accessible, by evoking frivolous imagery from our collective consciousness. Dream Girl (2009) 22 x 15 x 13 in.

Wonderful vintage wooden box painted a soft green. The size of the box is 16"x 10"x 2". The assemblage is full of interesting rusted sewing pieces such as a sewing machine, dress stand, scissor, needle, and a spool. Mirror to see yourself, a vintage bisque girl, the sewers child. The bottom shelf holds white letters spelling out the title of the assemblage. Old tarnished spoon and old wooden colorful spools of thread. Also two old metal wooden stamps depicting some 20's flappers and one other with a sewing machine. A sweet vintage white china poodle. Treat yourself to a piece of art for your sewing room. Would also be a lovely gift for the sewer in your life. Also an assemblage for a she shed. A shabby chic environment too. Thank you for shopping.
