I bought this book titled 'Collage', it is a collection of artists work with collage, using lots of techniques to create contemporary, surreal and obscure collaged work. I found the work within to be very inspiring not just for my current brief but in general it has opened my eyes to a new style which I can use. For example above mixing hand drawn flowers with a drawing of an old house and using some old off white floral wallpaper the artist, Hollie Chastain, creates a physcedelic style contrasting piece which is bright and old at the same time. I want to attempt a floral hand rendered piece for as a design idea taking inspiration from this piece.
I have chosen a number of these from the book of which I felt inspired by, and have posted them to keep my mind fresh on them. The freedom these artists have shown using a range of obscure media together to form a mixture of rough, neat and interesting art, the expression and surrealism that has gone into these pieces is a big inspiration and something which will help me realise the work I want to produce within this brief. The use of colour and image within some of these pieces contrasts but manages to work well and form something different and creates a new story for the audience.
I found this piece to be so bright and interesting and the way the black and white characters stuck on to the bright landscape which is also formed of many different pictures. The combination of images used works so well to create this surreal piece. I like the idea of the old and the new combined to create a very striking image which blows the mind, especially when looking at the build up of the colourful landscape behind.
