A series of abstract collages by Jeffrey Meyer:

“I think the best surrealism has that ‘ease’ of viewing; the picture looks normal, even innocuous, but something is off. Hopefully some of my stuff shares that quality and encourages viewers to linger and study the work more than once.”

Lush and wonderfully fresh visual work by Mowgli Omari:

“My name relates to the role of Mowgli in the Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. In my opinion Mowgli underlines the fact that we are all a part of Nature, something we often forget. Nowadays we understand Nature as something our culture, as well as ourselves, have defeated and overcome. It’s exactly this point I’m trying to address in my work. Mowglis story is about becoming an adult and leaving out childhood behind. I’m in a similar position in my life. Becoming an adult never really interested me. Omari on the other hand, means something like “God the highest”. On the one side it relates to my Catholic upbringing and on the other it accentuates the dissonance of mathematical symboles and practices, which I often apply to my name and work.”

Abstract collage compositions by Alexis Mackenzie:

“I like to combine elements from disparate ecosystems in order to accentuate their similarities, and to place things in a context which changes their function and relationship to the things around them. Surreal is one word for it. One thing that I strive for is to create things which are beautiful just to look at, and also rewarding to think about. That to me is what makes good art – accessible and challenging at the same time.”

Although most of the work by Travis Steams revolves around eye-catching, experimental and very unique digital design (he’s a LA-based graphic designer), I also found a liking to this little series of collages snuggled between all the more overwhelming visuals on his flickr-stream.

Abstract, enigmatic and visually disconcerting collages by Ryan De La Hoz:

“I am interested in Halloween. The basis of it is similar to the Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico. The idea is that you are celebrating the gift of life from the dead. People go wild because they are happy to be alive. My Dad died in 2005 and ever since I have been analyzing the duality of life and death – love and loss – joy and misery. I use the skeleton glove to signify the remains of a person or society that is no longer. I have an affinity for the Reaper because my last name de la Hoz means “of the sickle,” and when I was little I attributed a sickle to the Grim Reaper’s scythe.”

“I use the ladder to reflect on personal journeys whether that be entering or escaping from oppression.”

Paper Cuts is an on-going collage project by Andrew Groves:

“A new, ongoing series of works constructed from cut paper. I have long thought that paper cuts would be a good match for my illustration style; allowing me to work in an analogue medium whilst allowing the control and opportunity for “un-doing” things that creating with vectors provides.”
