The Stussy Fall 2011 collection includes a series of t-shirts by artist James Gallagher. Gallagher uses collage to investigate human form and personal identity. Piecing together images cut from discarded books, forgotten issues of National Geographic and the occasional vintage sex-manual, Gallagher creates stark and provocative scenes that reflect the world around him.
Gallagher’s art has been shown in galleries around the world. He has recently curated a series of exhibitions showcasing contemporary collage entitled Cutters (Brooklyn, New York 2009, Berlin, Germany 2010 and Cork, Ireland 2011) and is editing a related book to be published by Gestalten in 2011.
Watch the short video below in which Gallagher discusses his art and stylistic approach. The special collaboration is available now at Stussy online and Chapter stores.
