Zac Freeman - Assemblage Series

Having only recently come across the wonderful 'assemblage' work of Zac Freeman, I then discovered that he will also be exhibiting at the London Art Fair on 19-23 January 2011. I have been lucky enough to be given a complimentary ticket by the Woolf Gallery who represents Zac in the UK and I can't wait to see his amazing work!

" I started making assemblage artworks of this type in 1999. The artworks are made entirely out of collected junk, found objects, and general trash. I glue the bits of junk to a wooden substrate to form an image, usually faces, which only can be seen at a distance. I was interested in communicating through visual representation in apparent 2-dimensional space and through the actual objects used for the medium in 3-dimensional space. It is very important to me that I incorporate the actual objects into the art as opposed to a picture or rendition of it because it better expresses the intention of the artwork. I feel the junk is more powerful being present. It is an actual thing to be reckoned with that existed in this time and place and carries energy in and of itself. "
