What do George Bush, Paris Hilton and Hugh Hefner have in common? British artist Jonathan Yeo (Juxtapoz #103) has made porn collages of them. Yes, we said porn collages. Hear him discuss the origins of his technique, process, and unique finishing touches he uses in each of his cubism meets porn collage pieces in a video interview.

Somehow, Yeo has been able to de-sexualize porn via his perfectly pieced collages, which originated after the Bush regime asked him to create a portrait of President Bush. The team eventually pulled out (no pun intended) and Yeo decided to try out a concept he’d been toying with: making collages out of porn magazines.

What started as gentle mockery soon turned into a new direction for Yeo’s art. Can you just imagine this guy’s porn mag collection? 
 

Yeo is also releasing a new book, with “64 pages of glorious technicolour,” in a limited edition of 500. It is scheduled to be available next week from Lazarides Gallery.
