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.

Hugo Barros is attracted to nostalgic, kitschy visuals and often arranges them in enigmatic ways in his hand-cut collages. The Lisbon-based artist uses snippets of vintage advertisements, pulp science fiction novel covers, and old family photos to create psychedelic compositions that deal with supernatural visions and apprehend our curiosity about the cosmos. He often chooses images that share similar stylistic elements despite their disparate content, resulting in absurd amalgamations that somehow retain a sense of harmony. Take a look at some of Barros's latest works below.
Armed with a pair of scissors, Huntz Liu's multilayered paper collages have the viewer guessing which geometric forms offer actual depth or just give the illusion of it. With names like "Color Chasm," "Gravity," and "Boxy Configurations," the artist acknowledges that playful deception that carries across the works in his new show at Thinkspace Projects, which runs through Oct. 5 at the space.
Korean artist Won Beomsik disrupts the cohesiveness of city planning with his "Archisculpture" collage series, in which he cobbles together various buildings in unlikely ways. The latest addition to the series is "Archisculpture Antigravity," in which he flips and reverses the orientation of edifices to defy physical laws. Won's other series, "Dimension Finder," turns buildings' facades into kaleidoscopic patterns that look like portals into new dimensions. Using architecture as his visual language, he communicates ideas about perception and reality through these works.
In a new show at Littlejohn Contemporary in New York City, Maggie Taylor's digital composite prints relay the tales in Lewis Carroll’s writings with vintage-sourced, Victorian-inspired imagery. “Through The Looking-Glass and Other Stories” kicks off in conjunction with the release the book “Lewis Carroll’s ‘Through the Looking-Glass, And What Alice Found There,’” for which she provided works. The show runs Sept. 6 through Oct. 6.
