Delve into a surreal and bizarre world with Alexandra Gallagher, a British artist creating exciting animal collages that defy expectations. Her work brings together images of animals, plants and the female form, suggesting a strong link between nature and femininity. The resulting collages are visually interesting pieces that captivate your attention, bringing up themes of feminism, identity and sexuality to great effect. Her piece The Heart and Tongue of Virtue demonstrates this perfectly, where the pale skin and curved back of the female subject identify her with the birds on either side of her.

Micosch Holland is a German artist working to create animal collages today. Drawing upon a bank of vintage images, Holland’s mixed media works are clearly inspired by 20th-century movements like Dadaism and Surrealism. Animals feature strongly in these collages that represent the struggles and gritty reality of everyday life in a harsh light.

Another talented artist working with animal collages is Irene Hoff, whose bright and colourful works are packed with imagination. Warrior is one such example, in which a mighty bear appears almost ready to step out of the canvas. The appearance of this creature is softened by Hoff’s use of collage, overlaying realist painting with floral and abstract prints to create a piece that makes a strong impact.

About Animal Collage

Animals have acted as an inspiration for countless artists throughout the ages. Take a look at some of the earliest examples of artwork known to humankind, the cave paintings of the Palaeolithic Era, and you’ll see wild animals such as bison and deer. This trend has continued through the course of art history, from Medieval artists using animals as a means of alluding to divinity and mythology to Romantic tableaus that showcase animals in a sentimental and idealised light. Collage is a modern medium, coined in the early 20th century by Picasso and Braque, used to refer to assembling artworks from different forms. This unique technique gives artists the opportunity to represent animals in new and interesting ways.

For contemporary artists working with animal collage, there is a limited canon of work to refer to as inspiration. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity to define a new genre, making animal collage an exciting medium to be working with. Nevertheless, there is a huge bank of animal paintings and photography that can be worked into pieces of collage. Animals are often used to communicate ideas of nature and our relationship to the world around us, representing at once the wisdom of the natural world and its untameable and wild core.
