20 Mind-Bending Paper Collages That Turn Portraits Into Portals
Alex Eckman-Lawn, a Philadelphia-based artist, is widely celebrated for his multi-layered, hand-cut paper collages that transform the human face into surreal, tunnel-like dimensions. What begins as a portrait often becomes something more: a portal into psychological landscapes, inner anatomy, memory, and myth.
Each piece invites you in, offering a layered journey through memory, fear, beauty, and transformation. While we have highlighted 20 works here, his body of work extends far beyond, each piece as enigmatic and emotionally charged as the next.
