James Springall is a British artist known for his photomontage, collage and appropriation art. By reusing and recontextualising found imagery, he is resuscitating it, bringing it back to life in alternative forms to create new meanings. Playing with humour and tragedy in equal measure to evoke a visual world at odds with digital age consumer culture, his analog compositions prod the status quo whilst using satire as a vehicle to make social commentary.
Springall’s work has been shown in group exhibitions across Europe, including London Original Print Fair (Royal Academy of Arts), 50 x 50 II (Saatchi Gallery), Jealous Needs You (Jealous Gallery), AOAP (Towner Gallery), The Age of Collage 2 (Feinkunst Krüger) and LESS (Viborg). Published in The Age of Collage 3 (Gestalten), it has been featured by publications including AnOther, AnOther, Elephant, Collé and Huck, and commissioned by brands including Rough Trade, Noble Rot and VICE. He has curated exhibitions of contemporary collage for Jealous Gallery, London and Viborg Museum, Denmark. He lives and works near Rye, East Sussex.
