Award-winning artist Peter Horvath’s collages depict iconic pop culture figures from unique perspectives. With an ability to create depth out of flatness, his layered works marry meticulous detailing with a rough-and-ready street art approach. Although colorful, vibrant, and dynamic, his personal aesthetic possesses a dark, almost seedy undertone. In his work, the failure of the American dream and the omnipresence of Americana are both strong tropes and his sophisticated style proves that a multiplicity of images is always better than one. Collage combines some of the fundamental aspects of the now, and our book offers insight into the medium’s most influential image-makers.
