What is an abstract collage?
1 Answer
An abstract collage is a type of artwork that combines a mix of materials assembled together to create an image that does not depict everyday objects, places or things. Instead, the collages convey symbolic messages or evoke emotions through visual elements like color, shape and texture. You'll find a large collection of collage art on 1stDibs.
