here's a stunning... positively stunning collage jean-lucien sent me well over two years ago. i think i'd sent him about three-quarters of the original material, but his was his eye for melody and his way with the scissors that made it all come to life. the dreamy girls at the center are from the movie 'picnic at hanging rock,' and the military man in john rhys-myers... but the rest is all jean-lucien, and his talent for light and mood and movement. i remember thinking at the time, that jean-lucien was working ahead of himself. since then, i've realized, that he is always working ahead of himself. indeed, ahead of anyone else. he is without argument, my favorite visual artist. he is the best artist working in the collage medium in the last 50 years... very possibly, ever. click to enlarge.
