\u201cThe artistic practice of John Andrew Dixon emerges from many years of experience in graphic design and a deeply considered engagement with the history of collage. He has developed a distinctive visual language in which compositional precision meets intuitive improvisation, and discarded material acquires renewed aesthetic value. Combining the discipline of a designer with the sensitivity of a landscape painter, Dixon approaches collage simultaneously as an image and as a material artifact.\u201d

\nThis Thursday, July 9th, is the opening of the International Collage Art Exhibition<\/a><\/strong><\/em> in Poland at the University of Warsaw Library<\/a><\/em>. It is an honor to have my nonrepresentational collage artwork as part of the landmark show. This body of work has been curated by Dr Anna K\u0142os<\/a><\/em>, her fourth installment of an international project dedicated to contemporary collage art. It coincides with the 10th anniversary of Retroavangarda<\/a><\/em>, the gallery that she organized to showcase her scholarship.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nModern Collage<\/a><\/em><\/strong> will be released as an accompanying publication, and I am pleased to announce that Wind Harbor<\/a><\/em> and other examples of my work will be included.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

The exhibition has been honored by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland. Official partners of Anna\u2019s project include the Spanish Embassy, Argentinian Embassy, and the Czech Center in Warsaw. From what I understand, the display is scheduled over the next couple years for travel to selected museums across Europe. Presenting the work of 75 collage artists from around the world, it will highlight key developments and current trends in contemporary collage. I am proud to be one of the few artists representing North America and to be among the 50 artists chosen to appear in the new book<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do I wish I could get on a jet with Dana and be there for the gala event?<\/em><\/a> Of course \u2014 but \u201cthem cards ain\u2019t been dealt yet.\u201d I am more than satisfied to have recognition for my effort within the medium. Time will tell what the future holds.
