The Art of Collage

When it comes to the Art of Collage, one of the current references is definitely Simmons & Burke. This duo originally from LA, creates extravagant sound and image collages, or collages that have au

dible soundtracks.

In the words of an LA Times writter: “They aren’t images of car crashes or natural disasters. They are expressions of the digital present, hellish and heavenly, decadent and sophisticated, frightening and wondrous. This is what we wished for.” she mentions, “L.A.-based collaborators cialis Case Simmons and Andrew Burke don’t just surf the Web, they steep in it. All the imagery in their prints and the sounds in their accompanying audio tracks derive from Internet sources. This is a 21st century collage, the hyperactive, disembodied progeny of Dadaist experimentation with scissors and glue. The art of Hannah Höch and others, irreverent as it was roughly a century ago, now seems quaint compared with this luridly beautiful bombast.” Read full article here.

These are some of my favorite prints. Great Works of art.

Amazing right? Imagine all those hours surfing the web, cutting, pasting, duplicating layers, organizing, liquifying, cropping, and so on. Worth every single second.
