SAMMY SLABBINCK

You all know by now that we have a weak spot for beautiful collages and awkward images with stories. No wonder why we loved Sammy’s collages and illustrations so much. He renders dynamic collages, combining vintage photographs with contemporary compositional styles; plays with exaggeration and proportions and creates new worlds for us to look at and enjoy.

Jens Ullrich

Berlin-based artist Jens Ullrich creates large-scale collages that make the careful elision between frozen-moment drama in sports photography and the inertia of classical looking sculptures. Have a look!

BEN GILES

Ben Giles is an artist whose vintage collages are so inspirational and fun. It feels like there’s always a story behind the images, or maybe we’d like to believe so!

JOHN STEZAKER

English conceptual artist

While visiting The Photographer’s Gallery in London, we were once again amazed by British artist John Stezaker. Stezaker’s collages examine our multi-faceted relationship to the image. By splicing together and collaging classic movie stills, vintage postcards and book illustrations, the British artist gives old images new meaning and examines the photograph as a documentation of truth.
