Sentimental Litter Collage

John Vincent Aranda is a Collage artist interested in the evolution of the medium during the digital age; the increased accessibility of source imagery now available thanks to the internet and the abundance of tools and resources that allows artists practicing Collage to explore a number of varied roles, such as curator, painter, sculptor, time-traveler and mad scientist. It is the artist's sincere belief that Collage essentially explores and celebrates the relationship between the world's collective visual history and it’s viewers, through the unorthodox means of destruction, manipulation and reconstruction, in order to create something new and reflective of the time in which these previously unconnected elements were reconfigured as a Collage. J.V. is originally from San Diego, California, has studied at Camberwell College of Arts and Central Saint Martins in London and now resides on the moon.
