THE collage is an artistic creation technique which consists of creating a plastic creation by combining elements of various natures: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photographs, wallpaper, documents, various objects of low relief,etc. When relief is involved, we rather speak of assemblage. If it concerns fabrics, we can speak of patchwork or apply.
My collages offer a vague definition of the painting, whose images and elements, once juxtaposed, reveal a story, deliver a discourse coming from my brain.
The list of images, texts, textures or others is infinite, collage is a catch-all or catch-all theme, quick to join everything that is lying around, fragments of reality, bits of document, even pieces of work, for me who can't bear to throw it away, it's a godsend.
In the minds of ingenues, of all those who are not artists or who do not have artistic flair, it is often a children's activity on rainy days. But collage has influenced the arts over the decades.
Today it is widely used in digital art (on computers, sometimes with artificial intelligence).
This gallery will try to show you what collage is in my mind. Have a good trip !
