Ohio Collage Society

The Harris Family Gallery is pleased to have the Ohio Collage Society exhibit their members' work during the run of "Something Rotten".  Collage pieces, with their many layers and dimensions, are a good fit for this musical comedy, which borrows from Shakespeare, with a nod to Monty Python--among other sources.

Collage is considered the only "new, fine art medium" of the 20th Century.  Although Pablo Picasso added pasted elements into some early paintings in the spring of 1912, it was Georges Braque who initiated the "pasted paper" revolution in the autumn of 1912.

Collage continues to be a dynamic and diverse contemporary art form more than a century later in 2024.  This exhibit demonstrates the same interest in materials, imagery, colors, and an altered reality that Picasso and Braque explored.  Collage artists construct a world made from the fragments and castoffs of the modern age for us to consider.

The Ohio Collage Society (OCS), established by Gretchen Bierbaum in 2007, is a statewide organization for people who are interested in practicing the art of collage. She also founded the National Collage Society (NCS) in 1982.  The Ohio Collage Society is an affiliate of the NCS.  The OCS works to strengthen the appreciation, production, and visibility of this unique art form.  OCS promotes interest in the modern techniques of collage and provides exhibit opportunities, support, and meetings to exchange information.  It is an enthusiastic and eclectic group of artists that always welcomes new members.  Information can be found by searching Ohio Collage Society and clicking the link to their blog.  Shirley Ende Saxe is currently the President of OCS.

Most of the artwork in this exhibit is for sale. The artists have generously offered to donate a portion of the proceeds of all sales to Weathervane.  IF YOU WISH TO MAKE A PURCHASE, PLEASE INQUIRE AT THE BOX OFFICE. Thank you for supporting the arts.
