James Springall is an analog collage artist whose small seductive works nod toward Dada and Surrealism. He’s a minimalist, often creating compositions comprised entirely of just two pieces of aged paper. These simple gestures take on complex meanings, a social commentary speaking to pop-culture and personal identity.
James Springall is a British artist who primarily works with found images from book and magazine pages that he reappropriates to take out of context. By reusing, reassembling, recombining, erasing, rephrasing, redacting, adding and subtracting, he is resuscitating long forgotten imagery and bringing it back to life in different forms.
