JOE WEBB
Counting Coldplay and Eric Cantona amongst his collectors, Joe has taken the art world by storm with his light-hearted pieces.
Fusing humour and a visual narrative, he reimagines the challenges of living in today’s modern world by layering found imagery. Using two or three images, Joe reinvents the original scenes to communicate politically-charged ideas about climate change, war and inequality. With hundreds of thousands of shares online, his collages have struck a chord with his peers, who describe his work as ‘in dialogue with today’s sampling culture’. The East Sussex based artist has exhibited at London Art Fair and Draiflessen Collection in Germany. Joe says: “I startedmaking these collages as a Luddite reaction to working on computers for many years as a graphic artist. I like the limitations of using found imagery and a pair of scissors. There are no Photoshop options to adjust colours, resize or undo.”
