Try Robert Heinecken (see example at http://www.leportillon.com/local/cache-vignettes/L286xH353/inconnu-7fb57.jpg).
Or, if you want something old school, try Giuseppe Arcimboldo (see http://www.linesandcolors.com/images/2008-11/arcimboldo_450.jpg). What's not to love about him?
Whoever suggested "montage," has given good advice. I also very much like the term "semiopomorphism," made up by an artist. That's how most art terms are created anyway...by artists. So, who wants to make the authority record? ;)
