ART

The collage art of Eric Gillyard finds a home in the visually charged lineage of surrealist Max Ernst’s 1934 phantasmagoric graphic novel Une Semaine de Bonté and Winston Smith’s ’80s iconoclastic cover art for the Dead Kennedys. Gillyard, who’s created artwork for three Folio Weekly “Bite by Bite” issues and was the focus of our June 5, 2012 issue, spends countless hours with source material and X-Acto knives to painstakingly create his truly singular works (pictured, Heroine) that evoke haunting archetypes from an extinct America and landscapes that seem born of fever dreams.
