Jonathan Auch demonstrates a sophisticated aptitude for layout design and collage illustrations. Balance plays as a crucial role throughout this body of work, encompassing not only the strategic placement of diverse elements within the frame but also the harmonious interplay of color. Typography undergoes a process of deconstruction and fragmentation, while photography is transformed into abstraction, culminating in the emergence of the potent medium of collage.
Collage, to me, is an influential means to process and engage with life, transforming how I view the world. By positioning varied visual elements side by side, I investigate the limits between abstraction and representation, revealing concealed connections and broadening my grasp of interrelatedness. This ceaseless experimentation enhances my awareness of my surroundings, guiding me to uncover exceptional textures, colors, and patterns in day-to-day life.

I am constantly gathering graphic fragments: walking past trash in the street, browsing some magazine, working on a design project or even just doing paperwork – there is always that sense that something might come together for a new arrangement. Putting found footage in a new context gives me the opportunity to explore the field of composition and associations.
