Arctic Tears
Joe Webb uses found imagery from vintage magazines and printed ephemera to create perceptive handmade collages. His surreal yet shrewd work acts as an invitation for us to become more conscious and to stop and question our place in the universe.
In Arctic Tears, Webb juxtaposes his subject with melting ice caps for tears. The piece calls for us to contemplate the role we're playing in global warming, and mourns what is already lost.

About the artist
Favouring the hand-made over the high-tech, Joe Webb goes back to tactility in the creation of his retro collages. Sourcing vintage magazines from second-hand stores, Webb reworks original imagery, using simple and concise edits to build new visual narratives.
Surreal and sentimental, his work explores profoundly human themes of love, longing, war and inequality. With a penchant for the 1960s Space Age, much of Webb’s work depicts expansive galactic vistas, subtly subverted to invite the viewer to question their place in the universe. Environmentally conscious, Webb’s work is more than just a visual tour-de-force: this is art with something to say.
