Toronto-based artist Jp King visited the studios of two artists: James Gallagher of Brooklyn, New York, USA and Sophie Jodoin of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Amongst the immediately recognizable qualities of both artists, their exclusive color palettes speak of the worlds they inhabit.

“Transmitter/Receiver: The Persistence of Collage” at The New Art Gallery Walsall
4 May-30 June 2012
The title of this touring exhibition comes from the words of the French critic Nicholas Bourriaud: “We are no longer either passive receivers or authoritative cultural transmitters, but potentially both simultaneously.” It presents the work of 32 artists to illustrate some of the uses of “collage in British art from the first influences of the Parisian avant-garde” through the present day.
