About this artwork
"Channel Surf" is part of the larger body of work titled 'Interventions'. In this series, Horvath deconstructs images from his archive of 20th Century magazines, cutting and pasting fragments out of their intended frame of reference, creating hyper-real, imagined, colour saturated… environments. While his imagery is sourced from material that was originally conceived to impact influence (such as mid-century advertisements) it is collaged with the intent of removing the initial context and reason, creating optimistic narratives informed by childhood memories.

« The images of the people I choose for these portraits have a strength and vitality - I place them among the wreckage of crumbling, entropic elements, suggesting nothing lasts forever. »
Peter Horvath is a Canadian multimedia and collage artist, whose collages manipulate and rework images drawn from popular culture. His collage and assemblage pieces combine elements invoking an improvisational jazz-like cacophony inspired by contemporary imagery, street art, and modern-day culture.
