Brad Terhune “Backyard Barbeque”, collage on paper, 8 x 8” (framed by 12 x 12”), 2019

I am a  New Jersey-based artist and have been making collages since childhood. Forever seeking out new materials to work with leads to changes in style and subject. Often I am looking to create a strange, surreal world, and have been influenced by early twentieth century art movements that embraced and explored collage. The direction my collages take is often dependent on the materials I have found and am attracted to visually. As images are combined, that juxtaposition drives the narrative, and meaning is revealed.
