Collage artist Guillame Chiron combines myths of the wild west and mid-century domestic life in humorous collages. Playing with scale and context, Chiron inserts oversized humans into urban landscapes, or shrinks down people to fit astride cats or on meteors in the galaxy. Chiron has also published a book of 250 collages. You can see more of the French artist’s collages on Tumblr and Instagram. (via Lustik) More

2020 Topic 9: Collage It Hi everyone, Keren here to kick off our latest topic which is all about collage. From our earliest memories of making things, we probably did some elements of collage but hopefully we've all developed a more sophisticated style by now! In its basic form, (strictly speaking) collage is a picture created by sticking other pictures or paper (or thinner substances) together to create a new image. Its 'next of kin' is probably assemblage and it would be easy to blur the two, but there are subtle differences where assemblage tends to be more sculptural and involve more than just glue to combine the elements together. Glue is a heavy feature of collage. I've not been super strict about sticking to the collage definition, but mostly looked for a collaged vibe. The PaperArtsy blog has plenty of inspiration and our first example is by Pam Thorburn who has collaged hair and face so beautifully. Using the same colours makes for a harmonious piece but with some wonderful texture and check out the post for a real masterclass to this technique. PaperArtsy Blog Gwen has a style that lends itself beautifully to collage. This example with some of her stamps shows the rainbow of collaged papers. PaperArtsy Blog Controversially I'm beginning with a piece of digital collage. Can it be classed as collage? I'd love to know what you think! This striking piece gives a really strong collaged look. It's a piece entitled Self Identity and would be a really useful technique for a self portrait. Sephora Venites Collage can be a wonderful combination of images and colour, and these bright, modern versions have some wonderful details. Triple The Scraps Collage doesn't have to be a blended affair. This piece of contrasting patterns and textures has a patch-worked feel to it. Cathy Nicols This monochrome beauty is a stacked delight. Gluing layer upon layer of lace and fabric results in a strong dimensional piece. Pion Design Whilst researching for this topic, there was a consistent thread of humour and quirkiness. This piece appealed to me for the quirky design plus I rather love vintage Singer Sewing machines! Mohanad Shuraideh Collaged pieces don't need to have the whole space collaged; there's some in the background, but the main focal flowers are really delicately collaged. Susanne Rose Moving back towards the surreal, this is a good example of how you can use bold but simple images to provide impact. Don't be afraid of using seemingly disconnected images to tell a story. Jordan Westre One of the best things about collage is using the textures to add to your art. Torn edges of newspaper add texture and also highlight the layers. The added colour in this example is exquisite. Rachelle Panagarry Creating landscapes using torn papers adds shadow and interest without complicated colouring. Choosing papers with different shades is the key to creating shade and highlights. Notice how the layers look so much like ripples in the water. Shelli Walters Studio I don't know what glue this artist used, but many enjoy a decoupage glue or an artists acrylic medium. Some thinner papers that become translucent when medium is added create another dimension to your collages. Tissue paper is a fab option for this look. Bored Art Combining fibres and paper makes for a fascinating piece. The fibres look like they've had colour added to them. Such a beautiful landscape. Little Field Studios Collage can provide bolder dimension and I thought the way that the torn edges created an aperture was really pleasing. Not adding adhesive all the way to the edges is a unique effect too. Caterina Giglio You could argue that this next example is isn't really collage but I thought that the design element was strong and was a good example of a superimposed image onto another that takes the design through each element. Merve Ozaslan I'm pushing the envelope (a collaged one of course!!) here. It's sneaking into the assemblage category really, but there are collaged elements here and I thought it was a inspirational piece to show layering. Gregory Euclide This next piece is nudging itself into 'favourite' position. Using type and collaging text to create a piece that really looks like a nest and I adore the thickly painted eggs. Christine Mac Shane Art This more carefully placed collage is striking with the black bordered butterfly. Looking carefully at the piece shows so many different papers. Lindsey Kay Co These are wonderfully collaged and have so many elements that your eye is drawn around each piece in a myriad of directions. Maka Art I hope you've loved this initial delve into collage. The great thing about this technique is that you can make pieces using whatever you've got already- even newspaper or junk mail.

How Ian Woods embraces mistakes as he hand-carves his pop culture collages
Surrealist works of art aren’t just insanely cool, they’re also ridiculously insightful. The exceptional power of surrealism is manifested in the viewer’s instinctive emotional response to images that
About Maria Rivans is a contemporary British artist, known for her scrapbook-style collage aesthetic. A mash-up of Surrealism meets Pop-Art, Rivans’s work re-appropriates vintage ephemera to create dreamy realms, which transport the viewer into fantastical worlds of the imaginary. Each one finished with a dusting of subtle humor. In her pin-up series, Maria Rivans reclaims iconic femininity to champion female strength. Her exotic and escapist works are often laced with ominous undertones, to remind us of the darker side of human nature. Starring Jean Simmons - British starlet of 1950s fame - as ‘Joy’, an exuberant and sunny character, Rivans’s print has the heady buzz of spring about it. Filled with the joys of life, Joy sparkles in her feathered, off-the-shoulder collar and signature exotic headdress, which brims with flora, fauna, and fantastical fragments. A lover of nature and music, travelling and the simple pleasures of life, Joy wears her passions on her bounteous bonnet: vintage cars for speeding across countries; old-fashioned radios for tuning into meandering melodies; bumblebees signal her ecological activism; firecrackers for the vitality of life; the lull of the sea, sounding in the depths of pearly shells; and the soft wings of white birds for taking flight at the drop of a headdress. Through an intense attention to detail and an artistic sensitivity to color and composition, each of Rivans’ artworks is the product of months of careful deliberations and decisions, every tiny tweak necessary in the final formation. Maria Rivans works from her studio in Brighton and exhibits throughout the UK. Her work is also highly appreciated internationally. Her colorful collages can be seen from New York to Hong Kong. ''Joy'' has an edition of 60.

Collage artists are often confronted with questions of copyright and ownership. Can I take and use this image? If I do, when will cease to be someone else’s and become my own?

Monarch Butterfly Collage This original collage was created on Arches 140 lb. Cold-Pressed Watercolor Paper. The collage was made entirely with recycled magazines. I love monarch butterflies, and thought it would be fun to do a collage of one. We have enjoyed watching them visiting the rain garden in our backyard. We've planted milkweed and other plants to attract them, the hummingbirds like to visit as well. This piece measures 18" x 18 1/2". For purposes of shipping, the collage will have a foam core backing and will be placed in a protective sleeve. I retain all copyrights to my artwork.
