Artwork by Eddie Colla


Eddie Colla’s stencil-based artwork is urban, sexy, and rebellious. The Oakland-based artist creates pieces that are full of energy, and inspire us to get off our butts in order to “achieve greatness.” Colla isn’t the biggest fan of rules though, and believes that sometimes they are meant to be broken…
“There is a visual conversation that takes place on the streets of urban environments,” says Colla. “This conversation is dominated primarily by advertising and utilitarian signage and assumes passive participation. Whether invited or not I am going to participate in this conversation. Public spaces were never intended to be coated from top to bottom with photos of consumer products. These spaces should, in some manner, reflect the culture that thrives in that space.”“Some people view what I do as vandalism. I assume that their objection is that I alter the landscape without permission. Advertising perpetually alters our environment without the permission of it’s inhabitants. The only difference is that advertisers pay for the privilege to do so and I don’t. So if you’re going to call me anything, it is more accurate to call me a thief.”

Incredible Junk Portraits by Zac Freeman

Zac Freeman takes every day objects such as buttons, remote controls, film canisters, circuits, gears and telephone parts, puts them together and the result is an amazing portrait. Freeman’s work is technically similar to Jason Mecier who too creates portraits out of junk. Both has pretty unique style though.

I started making assemblage artworks of this type in 1999. The artworks are made entirely out of collected junk, found objects, and general trash. I glue the bits of junk to a wooden substrate to form an image, usually faces, which only can be seen at a distance. I was interested in communicating through visual representation in apparent 2-dimensional space and through the actual objects used for the medium in 3-dimensional space.
It is very important to me that I incorporate the actual objects into the art as opposed to a picture or rendition of it because it better expresses the intention of the artwork. I feel the junk is more powerful being present. It is an actual thing to be reckoned with that existed in this time and place and carries energy in and of itself.
