"James Springall is a collage artist based in London. His work is made by hand using found materials.
Artist statement (retranslated from the Chinese)
For James, the collage significance is to keep the existing image, but give them a new identity, and at the same time trying to create a sense of violation and messy, so the audience can feel the difference in work and sense of fun. Because itself is a "storage mad", a collection of many old magazines, until when the reservoir needs to lose too much, he realized that these seemingly banal publications are actually treasure, buried a lot of interesting photos can be used as a creative raw materials. So, is this use of old magazines and glue a pair of scissors, James began his collage."
I love this collage series by James Springall. His work is very varies and this particular series is quite different to his usual style of work. I love how all the pieces are tied together by using the three coloured lines across each photograph. I think it is clever how he has also used these to conceal the woman's identity (her eyes) and also and 'explicit' parts of the picture (nipples etc). I am really excited by this as a visual effect and would love to experiment with something similar within my own work.
