WINSTON SMITH’ COLLAGE

“Armed with razor blade and a fiendish wit, Winston Smith's modus operandi since the 1970's has been to kidnap "innocent" images from the pages of vintage magazines and then to diabolically glue them into compromising or politically revealing positions in his surreal collage landscapes. "Truly subversive artwork" wrote the SF Weekly in a review of Smith's first book Act Like Nothing's Wrong. "Perhaps the most vibrant collage maestro since Max Ernst," wrote popular underground artist Frank Kozik, who goes on to credit Winston with being "single-handedly responsible for an entire generation's graphic style."


"Smith's collages are works of great beauty and space, and more than a little psychedelic. Sometimes one can almost see them move." - Jello Biafra
