**PRE-ORDER**
Collages For Magazines is the debut book by acclaimed artist and creative director, Mat Maitland. Throughout his career, Maitland has consistently created captivating imagery for a multitude of magazines. This body of work serves as a testament to his creative journey, tightly curated from 15 years of contributions across diverse publications and collaborations.
Maitland led the resurgence of collage art in the early 2000s, pioneering a distinctive and singular vision in the realm of image making.
“The artistic heir to Warholian tradition, recalibrated in the digital age, Mat’s work blurs the boundary between high and low culture. His collages are pop, playful, cerebral and surreal. They’re steeped in nostalgia as much as they reference future worlds, as witty commentaries on contemporary culture.” - Dazed Beauty
“Maitland’s digital renderings make the eyes skip and the mind race with their unusual juxtapositions, as he pits the futuristic against the nostalgic and the phantasmagorical against the familiar. Unusually, a quiet cerebral quality sits comfortably alongside palpable accents of pulp melodrama.” - Sotheby’s
Mat is also widely recognised for his role as a creative director in the music industry, creating designs, imagery, and films for a plethora of iconic artists including Michael Jackson, Prince, Lana Del Rey, Beck, Elton John, and numerous others.
