On sunday I went to the Whitechapel Gallery to see the exhibition from british artist John Stezaker.
I liked so much,
i didn't know him before but I was mesmerized by
his surrealistic manipulation of icon and landscapes images.
From the exhibition catalogue:
"British artist John Stezaker is fascinated by the lure of images. Taking classic movie stills, vintage postcards and book illustrations, Stezaker makes collages to give old images a new meaning. By adjusting, inverting and slicing separate pictures together to create unique new works of art, Stezaker explores the subversive force of found images.
This first major exhibition of John Stezaker offers a chance to see work by an artist whose subject is the power in the act of looking itself. With over 90 works from the 1970s to today, the artist reveals the subversive force of images, reflecting on how visual language can create new meaning."
