Whether is analogue or digital, the art of collage challenges the imagination and can be interpreted in numerous ways.

I came across this great article on the history and meaning of collage art.

“Realism or Surrealism? Not all collage art is a mirror of the world as we know it. Sometimes artists appropriate and distort aspects of reality to create parallel universes which—being both recognisable and unfamiliar to us at the same time—challenge our perception of reality.”

I’ve selected five collage works from five of my favourite collage artists.
