All The King's Horses and All The King's Men

A striking collage on board by David Mach, this work assembles fragments of printed imagery into a dense, layered composition that rewards close inspection. The title's nursery rhyme reference to Humpty Dumpty's irreparable fall suggests themes of power, fragmentation, and the futility of reassembly. Mach's signature use of found and mass-produced materials transforms the familiar into something both chaotic and visually compelling.
