John Stezaker provokes a new way of looking at things with his unique art pieces. Made from old photographs and vintage postcards, his work cleverly superimposes the latter on top of the former for a rather creative result. In fact, if you look closely, you'll see that the postcard actually complements the photo beneath perfectly, creating an interesting commentary on both.
A British artist, John Stezaker's collage work is both surreal and simple. He is represented by The Approach Gallery in London.
