NEW SAD is a collaboration with international street artist and designer/maker Ben Sad and UK contemporary artist Adam Newton, Since 2016 we have collaborated on mixed-media paintings and objects, exploring our interests in religion, politics, and constructs of identity on social media. Our works use found imagery and non-art materials, combined with playful text and photocopy transfers. Several of our pieces are created by exchanging work via the post and augmenting, twisting or demolishing each others’ marks. Lately we have started to create objects from household detritus that reject notions of good taste or quality, and then photograph them to create a ‘fine art’ image.
