John Stezaker: Surreal Collages

John Stezaker, a British conceptual artist, redefines old-fashioned collages into surreal masterpieces with his unique scissors technique. Since the 1970s, he manipulates vintage film stills, actor photos, and postcards, transforming their meanings. Inspired by the French Situationist movement, he questions the influence of mass media imagery over our reality. His 'Mask' photo series overlays landscapes onto famous actors' faces, blurring boundaries between real and imagined. Stezaker's work delves into our relationship with images, urging us to reconnect with reality. This week, Dr Mulvenna invites you to explore your own creative expressions in collage, inspired by Stezaker!
