PURCHASE<\/a><\/p>\nZACH COLLINS<\/strong>
\nZach Collins\u2019 collages are a personal expression of time, place, and thought. \u201cI think of it as evidence of experience garnered from found overlooked fragments, discarded objects and vintage imagery collected from off the street, magazines, and second hand stores,\u201d said Collins. \u201cI bring pieces in and out of the composition to see how they react and respond to each other, and rely on instinct and inner experience as I decide what stays and what goes.\u201d Born in Grinnell, Iowa, he studied at Upper Iowa University and the University of Iowa. He is currently living in Minneapolis, Minnesota where he is pursuing an MFA degree at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Collins is an active collaborator who as worked with over eighty artists to date. He has exhibited his work internationally.<\/p>\nAARON BEEBE<\/strong>
\nAaron Beebe’s manual, cut-and-paste collages mainly consist of ephemera found through his daily travels. His artwork is made of tangible materials, which is a nice change of pace in a digital world. Beebe, a self-taught artist and design school dropout, divides his time between collaging, screen-printing, and graphic design. Beebe grew up in Virginia Beach, where he was greatly influenced by surf and skate culture. His style stems from a collection of various visual artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, David Carson, and more recently, Fred Free, Kareem Rizk, and Brandon McLean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Book: Recycled Trophies by Zach Collins & Aaron Beebe Recycled Trophies\u00a0is a collection of twenty collages in two states of being: starters and finishes.
