JOHN STEZAKER

The art of John Stezaker engages with the ceaseless flow of images that has been a consequence of mechanical reproduction, mass medi a and popular culture. His intervention into these images through collage, excision, reconfiguration, inversion or occlusion can be seen to interrupt their everyday circulation in a profound way: image and perception alike are questioned, rearranged and opened to new possibilities.Through their transformation Stezakers images acquire poetic resonance, and, in many cases, a disquieting allure.
