Thirty years later a group of British and American painters did the same thing with advertising, magazine cutouts and packaging. The scissors became software in the nineties, and the seams that used to show as torn paper edges could be hidden completely. What survives from all three phases is the basic move: two unrelated images forced into one frame until they mean something new. Modern work in this vein leans on a recognisable vocabulary. Classical marble statues wearing neon. Mid century advertising models dropped into deep space. Halftone dots blown up until they become pattern in their own right. Colour is usually pushed hard and the composition is usually centred, which is why these pieces work as a single focal point rather than in groups. Because the material is borrowed and recombined, the quality lives entirely in the edges and the colour grading. Cheap versions look like two photographs sitting on top of each other. Good ones share a light source, so the statue and the neon appear to occupy the same room. At home this suits a wall where you want one loud thing and everything else calm: a hallway, a home office, the space behind a desk. It is the wrong choice for a room that already carries a lot of pattern, because collage is pattern by nature. Zoom into the image before you commit and look hard at the places where cut elements meet. Clean, deliberate boundaries hold up at wall size; soft grey halos around a pasted element are a sign the composite will look cheap once it is enlarged.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.photo4sure.com\/collections\/bambashkart-wall-art.oembed","provider":"photo4sure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
