"I do enjoy the way you take all these disparate elements - some quite throwaway and 'cheap' - and turn them into something so epic, gothic and psychedelic." Howard Male, Journalist/Author. "Dada artist Sam Dodson describes himself as ‘a man trapped in his own collage’ and surrounds himself with a cornucopia of comic books, found objects and curious ephemera in an atmospheric studio on Johnson’s Island in Brentford🤡 Sam, aka Salman Gita, is also a talented musician who performed in the post-punk band The Transmitters in the 1970’s before forming the world beat band Loop Guru during the 1990’s and adorning many an album cover with his surreal collages" Bob Osborne, curator "Cash is King". "Collage genius" Colin Sugden from "Artistic_UK." Sam is also available for collage workshops. Prefers to do these with real live people but lately has been able to do these in a zoom format. www.instagram.com/samcollaged/ Always new posts here Interview with Sam. through music to collage www.interchill.com/features/interview-with-sam-dodson-of-loop-guru Sam is a member of Johnsons Island Artists. http://www.johnsonsislandartists.com/sam-dodson.html WINNER OF INTERNATIONAL COLLAGE ARTIST COMPETITION https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfmXtV4FLXk&feature=youtu.be |
