The post Beto Val’s Surreal Hybrid Animal Collages Will Blow Your Mind appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>Beto Valencia aka Beto Val’s career as a collage artist started as a happy accident after he stumbled upon a bank of vintage illustrations in the public domain. He decided to start experimenting with them as a way of combating the stress of his daily life, and his hobby quickly grew into an obsession and a full-time job.
Val wants his collages to immerse us in a surreal world plagued by eccentric beings, without sticking to a single theme or style.
“His passion is exploration, play, and fun in all its expressions where each new collage suggests a world completely different from the previous one and yet all of them bear the perfectly recognizable stamp of the author,” explains the artist on his official website.
Val is best known for his hybrid animal collages, featured in his book The Great Book of the Imaginary Animal Kingdom. He also created collections of collages called Wild Aristocracy and Amazing Machines, and we’re looking forward to their equally mind-blowing follow-up.

]]>Joosen has amassed an impressive social media following thanks to his quirky collages that he creates from vintage photos, magazines, and other material. Most of the time, he combines everyday scenes in a way that delivers an unexpected twist.
For example, one of his collages combines a figure of a woman cleaning with a photo of a crowded beach. The result is a scene in which the woman is actually wiping out the crowd with a piece of cloth.
“My ideas are based on daily observations and ordinary objects,” Joosen explains on his website. “I use magazines, postcards, paper, streetjunk, own photography and own drawings to create tongue-in-cheek scenarios with a vintage feel.”
He also isn’t a stranger to including famous paintings in his collages. For example, he combined a long receipt with Johannes Vermeer’s Woman Reading a Letter to create an unexpectedly amusing work.
Joosen regularly shares his newest creations on Instagram while also running a successful Etsy shop where he offers prints, mini books, and other items featuring his collages. Check out more of them below.

]]>MUMI uses cutouts from vintage prints to create strange and often surreal portraits. The way she combines illustrations of flowers, organs, animals, objects, and faces is quite fascinating, and you can hardly take your eyes off her pieces.
The longer you look, the artwork becomes more intriguing and bizarre. You discover subtle details and peculiar ways that different layers interact with each other.
According to MUMI, she enjoys the fact that making collages is an “organic process” that allows her to express her creativity in the best way possible.
“There are endless possibilities when I cut an image,” she explained in a recent interview. “I take it out of its context, its direct meaning, or its origin, and I give it a new surreal environment.”
MUMI shares her artworks on Instagram, where she has close to 50K followers. The artist also runs a webshop on which she sells the prints of her creations. You can check out more of them on her social media or by scrolling down and discovering our favorites.

]]>A Washington native, Voelker’s formal education includes the University of Washington and the Atelier Program at Gage Academy of Art; but according to Voelker, the real evolution has happened over 20 something years in the studio.
Indeed, there’s a great deal of experimentation in his work. Each piece begins with several charcoal drawings on paper. The material found in each collage comes from these drawings, which are sliced up and reassembled in a new way. This process of cutting and assembling is very much intuitive, with no plan or sketch beforehand.
“I’m interested in manipulating the relationship of tone, line and shape in my work,” writes Voelker on his website. “I create depth and form new connections through the collage process, which oscillates between quick improvisational moves and carefully planned revisions.”
The end result contains many layers and often hides within it faces and figures (look closely and you might just decipher them). Though his work is abstract, it tends to echo the world around him.
“I’m inspired by graffiti, urban decay, and music,” says Voelker. “I experiment with my source material and media to push the edges in the creation of my work. I feel like my job is to pull something out of nothing and convey it to the world.” Still, the final piece is open to interpretation.

]]>The post Katie McCann’s Collage Art Is Uniquely Bizarre appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>According to McCann, a constant theme throughout her work is the female face. Often placed at the very center of her piece, her heroine is surrounded by birds, fish, and butterflies, acting as a reflection of the natural and sometimes magical world that surrounds her.
Entirely self taught, McCann’s collages are cut out and arranged not unlike a jigsaw puzzle. According to McCann, she owns a large collection of antique books, prints, and pages from which she cuts out images, categorizes them, and, eventually, pieces them together. Her work consists mainly of paper, but McCann also embellishes some of her art with lace, beads, and fabric, which add some dimension and flair.
Her inspiration comes from nature and fashion, especially haute couture. “Putting the two together is like making strange paper dolls,” she observed in an interview with Medium. “I can see a lady in a bird hat, wearing a cut-up Alexander McQueen dress, with a lobster claw arm and spindly, deer legs. Somehow the juxtaposition of beautifully beaded couture dresses and bony, bird-like creatures is inspiring.”
McCann adds that she can actually spend quite a while flipping through old Vogue magazines and imagining how she can transform old dresses into an actual living thing.
Based in Berkeley, California, where she works from her home studio, McCann sells her collages online, through her Etsy shop. You can also follow her work via Instagram.

]]>Much like her chosen medium, her techniques are diverse and include digital and handmade collage work, or a mix of collage and drawing. Pallarés enjoys cutting various materials out and overlapping them, with the end result both graphic and minimal (unlike other collage artists, Pallarés’ collages aren’t excessive in nature).
“I think that my handmade works can be considered as illustrations from an esthetical point of view,” she explains. “They are close to this field because of the final result and compositions but I also like to see them as collages themselves, independent works made with a technique that is not really usually related to illustration, even though it has recently started to gain ground.”
Often time, her collage pieces add up to reveal a face. Using cuttings of papers to complete the portrait, features like eyes, nose, and mouth are added to a colorful background. Her collage portraits often feature icons in pop culture, with nods to giants like Brigitte Bardot and David Bowie.
According to Pallarés, her work is inspired by Dadaism and Surrealism (mentioning artists like René Magritte and photographer Man Ray). “I’ve always been interested in the Dadaism and Surrealism since I came across some photomontage artists when I was at the university,” she relayed. “I think these movements had a lot of influence on me, not only like an artist, but also as a way of learning how to observe and perceive art in general.”

]]>After winning an important prize for her creations, she was encouraged to step up her artwork. As she explained in a post for Bored Panda, she has a big photo archive of various photographs, which she uses to create her storytelling animal artwork. And she loves it!
“The animals I have portrayed during my 20-year career as a photographer tell their fairy tales in surreal collage art. They live in landscapes that I’ve photographed over the years,” Bloema said.
Her most recent project, titled Wondrous Goose, is synonymous with wonder, imagination, and the power of stories.
“Animals depict human characteristics, dreams, and idiosyncrasies,” she continued. “I live with my wife and dogs in the countryside. I still like to play outside, just as our dogs do.”
She only recently started sharing her creations on social media, so her following has just started to grow. However, we’re sure that soon she’ll be more in the public eye.

]]>The post Maria Rivans’ Collage Art Has a Nostalgic Flair to It appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>Using fragments of vintage ephemera, often with reference to film and TV, Rivans creates a mash-up of Surrealism meets Pop-Art aesthetic. Describing the process as piecing together an unruly jigsaw puzzle, Rivans assembles the cut-out fragments and scraps, laboring over long periods and making alteration after alteration until the collage begins to take shape.
“I just tend to go for it, by working straight into a collage,” she further explained in an interview with For Arts Sake. “I use my iPad for noting down ideas and inspirations. Sometimes I come up with a theme or the ideas develop from the images that I collect. Mainly I just play around and have fun with the making process.”
Being a collage artist also means having an extensive collection of vintage ephemera, mainly antique books and retro magazines, which she finds in second-hand shops and at market stalls.
“I go to boot markets, charity shops, and often people will donate material to me,” says Rivans. “It’s an exciting process, when I come across something I can use I pretty much get it back to the studio and begin cutting and using the images in the latest collage I am building.”
Continuously fascinated with cultures of the past, Rivans often references different film and TV genres. From vintage Hollywood to 1970s sci-fi, B-movies, and TV trash, she reinvents existing films to her liking.
“I watched a lot of TV in the 70s as a kid,” she admits. She then added that shows like Planet of the Apes, The Time Tunnel, The Fantastic Journey, Land of the Giants, and Star Trek will keep popping up in her work.
The end result, both nostalgic and original, is worth taking note of. Scroll down to see some recent highlights from her Instagram page!

]]>“I get excited about making new pieces and introducing this work to new people,” Geiman admitted in an interview with Design*Sponge. “Most of the work I create comes straight out of my head and is immediately transformed into something. I occasionally work from sketches, but I have found a way to bypass the whole sketching process just by creating the pieces in my head through visualization. This offers more creation time which means I will have actual artwork finished at the end of the day, not just ideas on paper.”
His diverse collage materials are carefully curated, cut, and combined with other artistic techniques including painting, screenprinting, and sculpture to create the final modern artworks. The end result is highly textured and intricately detailed, inspired by the flora and fauna of the natural world, the rich history of the US, and the influence of classic collage artists that came before.
Born and raised in a little area called Hermitage, Virginia, and currently based in Denver, Colorado, Geiman recalls being a creative child—the kind considered a good drawer in elementary school, who was called upon to draw motorcycles and flaming demon heads on notebook covers.
“I tell people I am a professional artist,” he says. “Sometimes I add ‘and designer’ because I’ve worked in fashion/interior design and because I think it adds an air of polish to the otherwise tarnished moniker of ‘artist’. For years, the common reaction was ‘another starving artist, ha-ha…’ Fortunately, such reactions are becoming less commonplace as handmade/DIY gains momentum.”
According to Geiman, it’s the hardest job he ever had, but the payoff is great. Best of all, he absolutely loves it!

]]>The post Patrick Bremer Switched from Impasto Oil Painting to Collage Art appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>But while working as a painter, he started experimenting with collage as a medium due to the price of paint and the medium’s convenience. His exploration began with a pile of National Geographic magazines, as he gradually moved onto more experimental collage work, treating paper as though it was his color palette and composing images out of strips of colored paper.
These days, Bremer’s work predominantly focuses on the figure and portraiture in a collage. “People and figures have always been part of my work for as long as I can remember,” he explains. “The move into collage [art] happened when I was teaching art. Before collages, I was working in heavy impasto oil and I was in between studios at the time so the convenience of collage was also a factor, it was a lot less messy.”
According to Bremer, working with paper has a similar feel to paint as he tries to use the knife in a similar way to a paintbrush. “I cut shapes that feel like streaks of wet paint,” he explains his process. Pieced together from stories and images from books picked up at the local market, Bremer’s portraits are meant to look shattered if somewhat messy.
Having won the DeLazlo Award from the Royal Society of Portrait Painters for his figurative work, Bremer has exhibited in a number of exhibitions throughout Europe and South Korea and has also led a range of workshops in collage, including one at the V & A Museum as part of the “This is Bowie” exhibition. He also regularly creates collage illustrations for magazines such as The New Yorker and Der Spiegel.
