Phil Smith - PHOTOARTS
WELCOME TO The Home of Mixed-Media Photo Collage...
Mixed-media photo collage presents a new view of familiar things. Each art piece is based on original photographic images of common and ordinary objects… windows, doors, or buildings. Some of the photographs are mounted on foam board to give the final art work the illusion of having depth, while others are chosen to lay flat on the surface. They are then cut out and collaged with antique blueprints, wood, wire, paper, stamps, paint, colored pencil or other found items which enhance the feeling the images themselves impart. Completed pieces are titled and framed under glass in canvas-depth molding, assembled in antique boxes or drawers as three-dimensional collage constructions or are mounted on painted canvas supports.
Viewers are asked to look at the initial images in a new context. The familiar is mingled with the out‑of-the‑ordinary, with something of little similarity, or with things completely new. Hopefully, the viewers see a bit of whimsy in the work, taking time to thoughtfully reconsider something they knew was already there...
