So. Let's get right to what we're loving today--the collages of UK artist Joe Webb. Using only two or three images, a pair of scissors and NO Photoshop or any type of graphic manipulation, Webb's deceptively simple and elegantly surreal pieces make quiet statements on the political, social and environmental.
I'm especially fond of his collages created from vintage movie star imagery and playful uses of negative space. Again--in the most minimal way--the artist illuminates the fleeting--and ultimately--empty nature of cinematic romance and fantasy. You can see more of his work at his site and Saatchi Art.
