Your Life May Be a Little Confined ..., Hogret, 2013. 13 Total, Lance Letscher, 2013. Diamond Pattern in Neutral Shades, Marisa, Pretty Crafty Things, 2015. I've always been a bit intimidated by collage - great collages are really great, but not-so-great ones are more like visual clutter.

Diamond Pattern in Neutral Shades, Marisa, Pretty Crafty Things, 2015

Wanting the final product to be something that I wasn't embarrassed by has always stopped me in my tracks when it came to trying collage... but part of my year long doodle challenge is trying different mediums and learning not to be afraid of art... so I took a deep breath and convinced myself it was time to try. I love seeing collage pieces that cleverly use vintage images... but I don't love sourcing materials before I know if it's something I like doing. Test then invest, if you will. So, I decided that the best place to start was with what I already had - magazines... a bit of a mine field though if you're trying to avoid the crafty dream board look.

But then I had a bit of a revelation... As I flipped through magazines looking for inspiration or a starting point, it hit me... Don't look AT the pictures. But what to do with all these magazine pages? Blue ScallopPattern with a Touch of Hot Pink, Marisa & Elias, Pretty Crafty Things, 2016. Alumnes de 6è, Plastiquem. Flag Ship, Michael McGee.

Inspired by Derek Riggs Iron Maiden album covers and figurative painters such as Lucien Freud or Francis Bacon, the very talented Patrick Bremer was mainly known for his portraits paintings, but now his beautiful collages have also brought him recognition.

China Bones, Patrick Bremer

He received his BA in painting from Wimbledon School of Art in London and has been awarded the De Laszlo Foundation award for his portraiture by The Royal Society of Portrait Painters. He works part time work as a secondary school teacher as helping children with artwork inspires and influences his work. He creates his extraordinary collage work with layers of collaged magazines and books on paper and chooses strips and chunks of paper that fit the image both visually but also textually.
