By
Collage in art. 4 artists you should know about them.


Mary Lum
Interdisciplinary artist Mary Lum in her collage work combines photographic fragments of urban architecture, architecural elements found in vintage comic books and acrylic print on a paper to creat new spaces suggesting the intertwined facts and fictions of urban experience.
Cutting and layering paper is analogous to wandering it the city. In her works we can find fatastic world mixed with our everyday views. Mary has been member in the Visual Arts department of Bennington Collage since 2005.

Gordon Magnin
Images from high-fashion , body-building and pornography are based choice of the artist. He play with human body in every possible way. Repetition, converting, using geometrical shapes lets him create inimitalbe humans creatures. His art is somehow discomposing and refer to this days cult of the body.

Virginia Echeverria
As she says she attempts to to make manifest an invisible energy of the metaphysical world.
By combinations of variety textures, shapes, colors, and materials ranging from colored paper and magazine cutouts she creats magical world. Her works build nice mood around. Kind of naive pictures seems to be the memoir of childhood.

Jose Romussi

Jose is a forerunner in his technic, in addition to paper and glue, he adds a third element to the traditional components of collage : thread. Based in Berlin, the Chilean artist adds colorful embroidery to vintage or new photographs, adding meaning to abstract gestures or underlining their dynamic. Combinations of black&withe pictures with vivid threads give strongly estetic effect which can also have a not allways obvious meaning

What do You think about that artists?
Do You generally find collage interesting or it is a trivial technique of art?

In general I don't like collages. These artists are as interesting as all other artists I know. The only artist I know is Władysław Hasior. When I visited Zakopane I was in his gallery and I saw a lot of his works. I was impressed with his works. The whole room was adjusted to his works. All his works are very scary. I recommend it to everyone who goes to Zakopane.

In general I like art, watching and analysing art photos, pictures or sculptures brings me joy.
I think that artists who make collages are very smart and observant. They have to look at different parts and know how to joint them to make nice looking and interesting composition.
In my opinion collage is an interesting, modern way to express some visions. I like them very much ;)

Thanks for sharing. In general I don't like the collage art because it's based on some ready elements and it doesn't feel like something created purely from scratch so it's not a complete product of the artist mind. Although I believe that there may be examples that represent some complex ideas and they are worth appreciating.

In my opinions college is a very interesting way of expressing world view. Although it sometimes may be very hard to understand what the artist was thinking about while designing the art.
I think that artists who are working on collages have to be very smart and intelligent to combine some elements to logical unity.

Collage may be a great thing, but it have to be made with taste and skilfully. For example I thing that Virginia Echeverria's "piece of art" is a joke - no effort. But Jose Romussi's work is catchy and nicely done. I like it. Idea, colors and how it was done.

Thank you for this presentation, generally speaking I like to watch art like sculptures, paintings, photographs. I have not seen many interesting collages to me, but some of these you have displayed look original. To me it is a positive topic, because I think that when people are interested in art, which is in a way abstraction, they get to expand their perception and opinion on my things.

To be honest I’m not interested in art but in my opinion collage looks quite difficult. Collage artists should be very talented and skilful otherwise their arts are going to look very trivially and tritely.

I’m not the biggest fan of collages but I respect any form of art.
Even though artist uses ready components it isn’t easier to create a collage.
I think it might be even harder because you have limited sources to create a piece of art you have in mind.
That’s why I think that artists who create collages have to be much more creative than other artists.

In my point of view collage is hard to create but nice to watch. It's something new in art. We see collage very rarely but well made ones are great and interesting.

I am not fun of such art. I might be dinsoaur but I prefer art in its "classical" form, such as realistic drawing or sculpture. I think i loose interest in art somwhere around impressionism.

If you think that collage technique is only used by children in primary school, probably you're wrong. Look at this pieces of art and you will find second agenda. Those artists using this simple technique are able to catch somebody's intrest and show artists point of view.

Not really my taste, but the given examples are quite interesting. When it comes to collage, I quite like the big pictures created from other, much smaller elements (for example smaller pictures), which makes it look like a normal picture from far away. My cousin has such a thing, huge poster of Kobe Bryant made from hundreds and hundreds of smaller Kobe Bryants.

I didn't know about those artists but I am not really interested in that kind of art. However I got interested in one of the artist - Gordon Magnin. I like that his collages express static emotions.

I prefer more classical stuff, but, in my opinion, collages should exist as a form of art. It gives a chance to the people who is not talented in drawing, sculpture or painting to express themselves. And it could be a nice decoration for some interiors. When I was a child I liked to make collages, and I still think that it's a nice way to entertain children and to develop their creativity.
Some of this works are quite interesting. But I wouldn't hang it on my wall.

There are no doubts collage is art! I personally love abstract art and art which gives us a chance to think deeper, a chance to understand author's thoughts. Some things are easier to show through pictures, but it's harder with others, so here collage comes handy. With collage author can show more! I love posters and think it's an amazing way to show feelings through different elements.

Very interesting topic and article. Collages I associated mainly with Pablo Picasso, so thanks to this text I know more of them. In my opinion todays collages has become very popular, but not by a well-known contemporary artists, but by many millions of internet users creating memes, collages with their photos and so on. Of course, this is not an art, and most frequently it looks awful, but something intrigued people in these collages, even if its only their silly photos.

I've never heard about those artists. In my opinion everyone of us could be an artist if we have an original idea and other point of view. :)

Week 11 [03-09.06.2019] The problem with ecological cars emission in UK

By
The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust.   The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog.   What is smog?   Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds often come fr

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

By
Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and naturally.
