Artist's Statement:

I, Blair Barbour, am here to take you on a wild ride through the whimsical world of collage art. With a dash of humor, I create artworks that blend unexpected elements to ignite your imagination. My passion for collage and subject matter comes from a deep desire to challenge the norms and break free from the ordinary. I love to gather bits and pieces from handmade papers, vintage books, and modern wallpaper to rearrange them into new storylines. Through the clever juxtaposition of images, I aim to infuse my artworks with a sense of lightness, joy, and sometimes a touch of irony. I believe that laughter is a powerful tool that can help us navigate the complexities of life, and so I use humor as a way to connect with viewers and invite them to see the world from a fresh perspective. My work literally and metaphorically has many layers and is a celebration of the absurd and the delightful. Each work will spark conversation and is a reminder that sometimes, laughter is the best answer.
