For the Surface Interruption project: Joe Ryckebosch made these collages from found photographs and colored tape. He preserved the original focal point and figures of the photo, but added these flat graphic lines and dots to change how our eyes move through the picture. He makes us pay more attention to the focal points of these discarded images.

The top image is by Kelley Walker, the next two by Elad Lassry, the bottom three by Dieter Roth. I am really interested in all three of these images that I found on the Contemporary art Daily blog. A lot of the art on that blog is really new to me, and it takes me a long time to digest new art enough for me to able to react to it, so I apologize for not having much to say about more contemporary painters. Most of this blog has been about painters that I've been looking at for a while now, or realist paintings that I think I can understand more immediately. This kind of art though, I feel like I need to read a lot about the artist's intentions and think deeply about it before I can form an opinion on the work. These images were striking to me though and I hope to write more about them soon.
