Eugenia Loli’s Collages Are Full of Vintage Eye Candy

Collage artist Eugenia Loli is originally from Greece and is currently based in California. Loli uses vintage magazine clippings, advertisements, and erotica to cobble together otherworldly scenes that often have a sense of humor. Through out her work, she indulges her viewers with lush and opulent imagery: verdant mountains, exotic flowers, curvaceous bodies, and iridescent galaxies. If advertisements promise their viewers happiness, Loli offers us an immaculate utopia. With so much eye candy, her work prioritizes visual pleasure above all else.

Oregon based artist Morgan Rosskopf describes herself as a "visual hunter-gatherer". In other words, her surreal, carnal works are mostly driven by her own intuitions. Her illustrations on paper combine hand-drawn elements and collage to create lush clusters of personal imagery: a messy, knotted assemblage of fragments, from the sweet and savory to bodily and grotesque. "Hunting and gathering images is both subject and method," she explains. "I believe that all my images already exist; I just have to find them and rearrange them."
Korean artist Keun Young Park's torn-paper portraits of floating figures, faces, arms and hands appear to be disintegrating into space. Some pieces are rather explosive, like in her "Dream" series, featuring figures that transform into trees and erupt into clouds of birds. Each image begins as a photograph taken by Park, which she manipulates digitally in Photoshop, then shreds into thousands of tiny pieces only to paste them back together again.
French born artist Liz Brizzi held her first solo exhibition with Thinkspace Gallery (previewed here) on Saturday. “Adrift” continues her experimentation with urban landscapes in the form of painting and photo collage. This time, Brizzi went to Asia in search of inspiration. “I’ve always loved Japan. I went there with this exhibition in mind, with a plan in my head to create my own version of it,” shared Brizzi on opening night. Among the cities represented in Brizzi’s new work are Roppongi, Tokyo and the Damnoen Saduak floating marketplace in Thailand. Seemingly uninhabited, her work celebrates the architectural design and essence of a place long after we’re gone.
Douglas Hale multiplies, extends, and flips imagery to create kaleidoscopic and surrealist pictures. With his mind-bending configurations, it is no wonder he has been commissioned by Tessa Rose Jackson, Imagine Dragons, and Flyleaf to illustrate albums and merchandise. It is clear Hale has an interest in music, as many of his collages feature musicians like FKA Twigs and Erykah Badu. In these portraits, Hale adorns the singers with heavily ornate jewels and gold. Sparkle features prominently in Hale's collages, including those of ancient Greek portrait busts puking gold. These, like many of Hale's pictures, are set against rainbow backdrops and imbue his images with a dream-like 80s sentiment.
