Jose Romussi Inspired Collage

The image above was created by Jose Romussi. He creates collages through a process of stitching on top of elements in a photograph to give an impression of movement and life within the image, furthered by the bold colour used in comparison to the dark monochromatic photograph used before.

 

The images above is a scan of the piece I created in Romussi’s style and below is a photograph of the same piece to display it from a different angle to give a more dramatic perspective on the over-stitched detail. I believe it is an effective recreation of his work although the photograph used displayed less movement than the ones used by the artist, I used the stitching to emphasise the little movement there was, creating an effective and expressive image.
