Dick Jewell's collages and films create a psychologically overwhelming experience, challenging perceptions of images in the contemporary world. His solo show at Grace's Mews in London features photographs of TV screens from May 1980, evoking the dynamic atmosphere of live television. Jewell’s thematic collages include grinning subjects with peace signs, along with combinations of his images with lookalikes. His exploration of photography began in youth and was driven by an interest in advertising’s influence. Jewell engaged with individuals sharing his last name to create a collage through a deeply personal exchange of photographs.
Dick Jewell's collages and films challenge viewers' perceptions, diving deep into the interplay of images and their psychological effects in contemporary culture, blending truth with fiction.
Jewell's work is centered on photography's role in advertising and the semiotics of images, aiming to reveal subliminal messages within the visual landscape.
