Strawberries Need Rain

I happened across the work of Swiss born artist Carol Bove today. Her body of work consists of collage, sculpture, drawing, installations and more that blurs the lines of categorization. Via Dennis Kimmerich Gallery.

Kelly Allen

"Through combining a wide variety of images from a range of sources, I seek to create connections between subjects that are typically regarded as unrelated. By researching symbolism culled from a collection of cultural and spiritual dictionaries, I gain a new understanding for animals, colors, shapes, and so on. These creative attributes have served to aid people throughout history by honoring and respecting the creatures and substance of every day life. I am fascinated with the human compulsion to create meaning and narratives for subjects and occurrences in the world, on both the personal and the cultural level.

Life is amazing, mysterious, and rich with beauty and knowledge. It is also filled with opportunities to develop wisdom, which, at its deepest level, provides peace of mind and spirit. My work is here for you to awaken your imagination, spark your curiosity, and find connections between creatures and forms. Here you can be released from the constraints of time and obligation. Invent your own connections, or just look closely." -- Kelly Allen

James Gallagher

Using old book pages, newsprint, mixed paper and magazines, James Gallagher creates some very appealing collages.

Maurizio Anzeri

There is some very unique work done by Maurizo Anzeri. Anzeri works with discarded portraits which he brings them back into existence with exquisite embroidered embellishments. His site is under construction, but you can see some of his work here, here and here.

Timothy Nolan

Timothy Nolan creates some minimalistic and angular works. Whether it's installations, drawings, collage or paintings, all his pieces use a similar tonal palette which I am quite fond of.

Cross Sections

"Brad Eberhard is a painter’s painter, exploring the boundless potential of image making in the medium of abstraction. Working with great facility using oil and acrylic and paper, Eberhard’s new works on paper straddle the boundaries between painting, drawing and collage. The compositions begin in the spirit of organic evolution; as with his paintings, the artist incorporates found images, tearing and erasing in an organic fashion. In much the same way as a draftsman’s or biologist’s “cross section” exposes the invisible networks of a more complex system, Eberhard’s aim is to begin to expose not only something unseen by the viewer, but also to illustrate connections between the works. The collages are playful, serious, complex and simple, portraying beauty and conceptual depth with great confidence."

"Lena Wolff is a Bay Area artist who works in paper cut, pinpricks and collage on paper. She draws from folk-art traditions, anthropomorphic fables, organic abstractions and veneration for the natural world." Beautiful. Just beautiful.

ROBJOE

There isn't any info in the portfolio of Robjoe. But there is some really nice design work happening. I was lured into the collage work of the above entitled, "Growth."

Damn Sea Legs

I stumbled across the work of Matthew Walkerdine today. I really like his illustration stylings and it seems as though he has started some new direction in collage that I also find intriguing. See more here, Damn Sea Legs.

if I can measure his feeling, her thought, our emotion and your dreams ..
