Collection: Steve Talbot : Artist Designer : Merseyside

Assemblage allows Steve to explore simultaneously the mysterious spaces between high art and popular culture, text and image, figuration and abstraction, past and present, two and three-dimensional space.

Assemblage and collage are challenging because anyone can do them. We all have a certain point of reference, and we might intuitively put odd things together to make a satisfying object. The minute you take different pieces and try and put them together into an entity, they are transformed.

His inspirations range from history, particularly the Age of Enlightenment and the Eighteenth Century and the ceramics he collects to literature and fables, writers and their stories and characters. Often works in series.
