i love collage

collage is one of those techniques that have gone on for generations and it may not have been appreciated initially because it created a new texture and created a sense of a loss of sophistication, which maybe some were not used to. it is one of the techniques best done by hand, as that is the way the piece gains its sense of character. and for my dissertation i will need and want to look at collage based artists, to support my theory of design before computers.


greg gossel

his work is about life, the struggle and the beauty. he tries to show this through many methods such as words, images and gestures. he is interested in process and building up a surface and layering a variety of mediums; spraying, printing, splashing, erasing, dripping and writing in a very loose way. when a piece is finished, he wants it to show a visual history of change, process and expression.


mark khaisman

what you see are stripes of packing tape, layered and wrinkled over clear plexiglas panels, mounted on simply constructed light boxes. for years he had been painting on the light easel, seeing painting as a process of shading light. he then invented this tape technique as a effective way of patching light and found that it triggers intuition better. this is known to be poor man's stain glass, but the tape makes it more alive.


david callow


he combines traditional illustration with colourful cutouts to make eye-catching pieces.
