Above: Medusa, 2011 Javier Piñón, from The Age of Collage Vol. 2, Copyright Gestalten 2016

The highly anticipated second edition of critically acclaimed series The Age of Collage is released this month. A volume impressively bursting with some of the world’s best subversive digital and manual collage creators on a range of graphic, playful, sweet, titillating  and outright bizarre themes.

It is a far cry away from the general childlike association of the craft; the complexities of the compositions created alongside the darkness and sexual nature of the images cement it as a truly mature art form.
