Strictly speaking, Sabrina Jung’s images are collages. But I feel that her work is in that gray area where some people might see collages, others might just see images. Whatever you want to call these images, there is a lot of great work on the site.

Many of Adriean Koleric’s collages are done digitally, which doesn’t really take away much of the fun.

Alejandra Villasmil mixes collages with other techniques, so you’ll have to look around on her site to find them. It’s slightly hit or miss, but definitely worth your time.

Anthony Zinonos’ collages are often little more than visual interventions, reducing a larger image down to a few basic elements of meaning.

James Gallagher’s collages often use pornographic images as their basis, but the final results - achieved with often seemingly minor modifications - tend to move into quite a different territory.

I really like Clara Mata’s often very minimalist collages.

Sam Lubicz’s collages tend to be visually complex, reminding me at times of Monty Python animations.

Mario Wagner’s collage work also includes the use of paint - “mixed media,” suppose. I love the resulting effect.

Continuing my series of posts on collage art: Here’s Cless, who at times also incorporates other media than just photographs or cutouts.

This looks like it was done with Photoshop, but in fact it wasn’t. Lola Dupré uses scissors, paper, and glue for her collages. Here’s a conversation with the artist. (via)

“I merge images from different times and places to juxtapose ancient and modern, mythical and real, imagined and lived. I collage appropriated popular Indian ‘calendar art’ imagery of Hindu deities into my photographs. In bringing this storied imagery into the contemporary world, I am referencing contemporary clashes of values and cultures that are occurring on the subcontinent. By removing these printed gods from spiritual contemplation in sylvan glades and temples, and bringing them into the chaotic capitalist hurly burly that is contemporary India, I want to show how the Hindu pantheon, representing an imperturbable and entirely non-western view of reality really do walk the streets of postmodern India.” - Neil Chowdhury

The jpeg compression artifacts are probably not part of Philippe Jusforgues’ Cabinet, but I actually think they work nicely with those weird collages. Regardless, great collage work. (via)

Daniel Gordon’s collages cover the somewhat disturbing part of the spectrum - probably not safe for work.

I suppose some of April Gertler’s collages (there is no link to the “collage” category, so make sure to look at the other bodies of work, too) are not strictly collages, since they use more than cut-up images and glue. So purists can call them “mixed media” - the rest of us can just enjoy the work.

Looking through Jeffrey Meyer’s collages will keep you busy for the rest of the day. I’m not sure I like everything, but some very good stuff.

John Stezaker’s might be the “simplest” collage art: He combines two images, to create a new one. Even though I don’t think this approach always works, it usually leads to startling effects.

When artist Dash Snow died last year, I was wondering what it was that made his art so great. I never received an answer to that (go figure!). Various people mentioned that his collages were the best work he did. What that actually says I don’t know, maybe you can figure it out.

Mark Boellaard’s collage art is deceptively simple, often just using a few new elements on top of an image to achieve often startling effects.

Ofer Wolberger is well known online, in part because of his wonderful blog. In addition to photography, his website also contains sets of collages, divided into Anatomy of a Collage and Collage Portraits.

I have a bit of a weakness for “old-fashioned” collages (remember those? where someone with glue and scissors assembled pieces of art?), so it was a pleasure to find Sean Hillen’s photomontages: “These are scalpel-and-glue photomontages. The older ones were made between 1983 and 93, were always based on my own documentary photographs made in northern Ireland, and were somehow related to and to an extent engaged in, the northern conflict.”

Taking collections of overlapping images and combining them into a single one is nothing new, and with digital technologies, of course, it’s very easy. However, doing these collages in such a way that the results are interesting is an entirely different game - and Iosif Kiraly’s “Reconstructions” is probably the best set of such images I’ve seen so far. His other work I find quite a bit less interesting.

I find it somewhat surprising that you so few people do photographic collages. David Hockney’s collages are probably the only really well-known examples. Here are some more: Noel Myles has done some (more examples here), as have Cal Smith and Simran Singh Gleason.
