Jess Collins Collage

Jess Collins is a well-rounded individual he was drafted into the military at a young age and painted on his free time. After the service he gave up his scientific career as an atomic engineer and enrolled at California school of art. After parting ways with his family he referred to himself as jess. Jess had strong political views and you see that a lot in his work. A collage is work made by pasting various scrapes or piece of material onto the surface of the composition. Jess collages are very different from other collages; he takes a lot of time in placing his objects. Each piece is layer in a certain place for a certain reason. He just doesn’t through things in his collage to cover up space.
