Artists

Macay

As an artist, my approach to collage focuses on magical landscapes combined with surreal characters and repetitive patterns, all united by nature.”

MACAY- Macarena Yañez

i've been looking into artist in some of the illustration books i have to find an art direction. i wanted to create something different to what I've previously done and I came across Macay. I love this style of work and used to create a lot of collage at college but I've been out of practice and i felt this would be a really good direction to go in and i feel it flows with my brand. i love the mixture of bright colours and then the clash of vintage black and white/ sepia. these images really stand out because of the well thought out composition, colour and texture. Looking on the website, the work has a constant theme of patterns and texture though out the work and i want to achieve a successful collage with my promo for my app. 

Peter Blake

"It's using the mystery of Definitely Maybe and running away with it." Blake

During the late 1950s, Blake became one of the best known British pop artists. On the Balcony (1955–57) is a significant early work which remains an iconic piece of British Pop Art, showing interest in combining images from pop culture with fine art. The work, which appears to be a collage is wholly painted. This Work by Blake is very similar to Macay but is also incredibly different. The collage uses more of a vintage postcard feel and has less pattern and more human imagery. In most of Blakes work he uses people from all different cultures so also a wide variety  of people in his imagery. One similar aspect is the difference with colour and Black/white images in the work. This is an element i will be adding in my own work.
