Original Collage - Snickers Satisfies

I use recycled magazines, type, maps, photos, patterns and more to create one-of-a-kind collages. By ripping and cutting up these items I am able to construct unique works of art that appear semi-realistic from a distance, yet abstract up close. I love people to lose themselves in my artwork, scanning the fine detail to discover the text and images that intertwine to make these unique 'paintings'.

My ‘Snickers Satisfies’ collage is the second of my chocolate bar collages. Another fun collage created solely out of recycled magazines, no paint! Side fact - the Mars company actually introduced the Snickers bar which was named after the Mars family favourite horse. ‘You're not you when you're hungry’ was the tagline.

The first in this series is my ‘Marvellous Mars Bar’ collage. Please check this one out as the two chocolate bar collages look perfect together!

IMPORTANT - The image wraps around the edge of the board, so there is no need for a frame. Signed. Gloss Varnished. Commissions welcomed.

Sue Dowse is an Adelaide based artist who works mainly in collage art. Sue graduated from Advertising and Graphic Design, SA School of Art in 1984. She stills works as a graphic designer but in 2019 found an alternative creative passion in collage art, or as she calls it “painting with paper”.

Specifically, Sue uses recycled magazines, type, maps, photos, patterns and more to create one-of-a-kind collages. By ripping and cutting up these items she is able to construct unique works of art that appear semi-realistic from a distance, yet abstract up close. She loves people to lose themselves in the artwork, scanning the fine detail to discover the text and images that intertwine to make these unique "paintings".

Sue is excited to produce an environmentally respectful art form which allows her to give new purpose to discarded magazines, graphics and paper. Her work entices people to look closer. Sue's method is always evolving as she deconstructs an image into shades and shapes that can be depicted on the canvas with paper, and through experimentation overcomes the hurdles to bring a truly individual piece. She hopes you enjoy her work and looks forward to developing her style further in the years to come.
