Cut Paste Create: The Art of Collage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Bedford Gallery in the Lesher Center for the Visual Arts in Walnut Creek, California, USA
6 July-15 September 2024<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Cut Paste Create: The Art of Collage” seeks to uncover the methods and narratives of artists working in collage today. Derived from the French verb coller<\/em>, meaning to glue\/stick, the technique has evolved into a popular and powerful medium that transcends traditional artistic boundaries. This is the annual juried show put on by Bedford Gallery, a program of the City of Walnut Creek, showing the work of modern and contemporary artists. The exhibition features includes nearly 90 local, national, and international artists working within the four main categories of collage: papier coll\u00e9<\/em> (paper collage), d\u00e9coupage, montage\/photomontage, and assemblage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Versatile and accessible, collage allows for a creative amalgamation of 2 and 3D materials, creating a fascinating visual interplay of textures, colors, and forms that explore the juxtaposition of seemingly disparate elements. From analog cut-and-paste to digital layering, this exhibition celebrates the deft use of materials and creative spirit of collage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
