COLLAGE ON VIEW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Art of Collage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
7 June-19 July 2024<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Artists from modern and contemporary eras have consistently challenged the limits of creative norms by marrying diverse materials to construct something distinctive, stunning, and unexpected. From Pablo Picasso\u2019s Still Life with Chair Caning<\/em>, which pioneered collage in Western art, to Hannah H\u00f6ch\u2019s politically driven photomontages, to Wangechi Mutu\u2019s mixed media works addressing crucial women\u2019s issues, and countless others in between, artists have continuously pushed the boundaries of collage while exploring new mediums and techniques. This art form’s inspiring spectrum has come a long way, notably occupying a significant space within the art world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derived from the French verb coller<\/em>, which means “to glue”, collage refers to the technique and the resulting work of art where fragments of paper and other elements are arranged and glued\u2014or otherwise attached to a supporting surface. This exhibition magnifies the exceptional breadth and history of collage, as seen through the lens of contemporary artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Art of Collage” is divided into two distinct parts. The first showcases 13 featured artists whose collections furnish the main walls of the gallery. The second part, erected on the back wall, presents a collage of collages. This spectacular assembly displays a meticulously curated selection of work from an additional 28 artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 13 featured artists showcasing a collection of work include Richard A. Alonzo, Hannah Diomataris, Cassie Guy, Blythe King, Zofie King, Sri Kodakalla, Mary Lamb, Jonathan Lee, Lisa Macchi, Nikki Painter, Sharon Shapiro, Laura Wooten, and William Wylie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
