MULTIMEDIA COLLAGES 2020

MULTIMEDIA COLLAGES

These Giclee collages are a combination my oil paintings and ink and pastel drawings merged with photo-shopped images and digitally collaged people and scenes combined with text to create the following environments. One person for example may have a photograph of a painting I’ve done photoshopped onto a photograph I have taken of someone’s torso, and then photoshopped again onto newly drawn feet to create a new protagonist. For some of the collages, Professor Gregory Kerr kindly allowed me to use some of his portraits as the faces in the collages. Thank you Greg.

These limited edition collages measure 490 x 297mm and are signed by the artist.
