Beautiful digital collages by Robert Alan, American conceptual artist

Digital collages by Robert Alan
American conceptual artist Robert Alan has created a stunning gallery of paper art, digital collages and photo-manipulated works. His collages start off as a traditional paper collage (magazines, etc.), some get painted over with water color, then they get scanned and photo shopped. If the artist finds them too dull (which he does very often) then he might just print them out again cut them up and repeat the process. Some of these are 10 years old, scanned altered cut and colorized many many times. According to Robert Alan, he creates his art through the medium of madness. That madness lives in a box in his mind “feeding on dreams and nightmares and occasionally gummy bears too.”
