Winston Smith is an American artist who focuses mainly on collages as well as posters and illustrations. He uses images from vintage magazines and puts them in compromising positions and surreal landscapes. His work is also controversial. One of his most controversial pieces involved Jesus nailed to a cross of dollars and was ultimately banned. He also likes to use religious and political figures in his collages.
I was suprised to find out that he helped create an album cover for one of Green Day's cds.
Overall I like his work. I like the surrealism of them and the craziness. I just wish that Smith used other materials than just magazine images. I like collages that have more mixed mediums.
