Originally, I saw this image in a slideshow shown in my Illustrative Concepts class. Since, I haven't been able to get it out of my head. Because the theme of the week is collage, I definately knew which picture I wanted to share with you all!
Straight from Wikipedia, I ripped the definition of collage which is defined as "a work of formal art... made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new form." Thank you Wikipedia! But I did want this definition in everyone's mind as I try to articulate (but more likely ramble) about the amazingness which is Eddie Guy's piece.
It looks simple enough, doesn't it? The composition is simple. The central focal point is typical of portraits. The colour scheme is red and black, tried and true. The concept is simple. He made a face out of faces. But it works. The artwork was made from the assemblage of different forms and other faces to make a new form, a cohesive face, and it's mind blowing the cohesiveness of it all. Simply bananas.
Hope everyone is having a good Thanksgiving weekend!
