quote:
Gallagher argues that collage is the per- fect medium for coming to terms with a culture saturated in images, both printed and online. "Today's collage artists carve out fragments from this frenzy and force the disparate pieces to become one," he writes. "It is their way of controlling the chaos—or at least pushing the pause but- ton long enough for examination."
clothing catalogs, text books, anything that can be folded into my world." His collages usually feature one or two monochrome figures, their faces always concealed, set against open backgrounds built up from layers of paper to suggest abstracted interior spaces. A restricted palette and sparing use of random lines of type help to define his private graphic world. His aim, he says, is to reveal a zone of hidden behavior—its beauty, ugliness, solitude, and desire. gallager
unqualified em- brace of digital collage as a tool for responding to 21st century modernity
The bot- tomless ocean of imagery available on the Internet gives collage-makers even greater reserves of ready-made material to filter, borrow, and manipulate, while any paper image can be digitized by scanning.
One of the most distinctive artists in Elephant and Cutting Edges is Julien Pacaud, a French illustrator who planned to become a filmmaker before discovering collage. Pacaud's use of dis- placementand rupture is so complete- he only works digitally—that I wonder whether "digital collage" is even the right term for what he does. He blends his source images seamlessly into pictorial scenes that might, as he says, belong to an imaginary film. Whatever the people were doing when he extracted them, they become actors in a new hyper-real dra- ma. In one image, an Edwardian lady looks reverently at the grass, while an- other woman in the distance, holding hands with a companion, points to the sky where two huge planets hang above slender monoliths of light. Pacaud can sometimes overdo the portentous geom- etry (cubes, pyramids, spheres) but his re-colorized images look like fully con- temporary visions and he is in constant demand as an image-maker.
