John Stezaker's Biography and Exhibitions at Saatchi-Gallery
John Stezaker simple yet disconcerting modifications toy with the subconscious and the surreal. His permutations produce a 'moment of revelation within the universal blindness that the consumption of images has become: a glimmer of consciousness within the unconsciousness of image reception'* In 'Blind', one incision monstrously removes the eyes of the subject completely. The 'Masks' continue Stezaker's ongoing interest with the hidden face. Found postcard images obscure and replace the subject's physiognomy, leaving a 'surround' of hair, neck and clothes.
