Cut and Paste Artists

I’m a long time fan of Eduardo Recife and am greatly influenced by his vintage styled collages and illustrations. I find he works minimally, layering one central figure over textured and aged papers. I think this is most effective with his tendency to cover or block his figures eyes, which seems to de-personify or censor their identity, so they become a generic being.

Because she freelances for fashion house campaigns, Elisabeth Archipoff’s collages are always a landscape of beautiful girls and soft colour palettes. I like her works because they have a kind of dreamy narrative about them.

Design Memory do web design with a distinct cut paste collage style. I love their work for Au Revoir Simone, it has the feel of a hand made scrap book.
