Grafik (Work In Progress)
 |
We must
revolutionize our optical perception.
We must remove the veil from our eyes.
(Alexander Rodchenko)
Grafik is a series of collages which deal with themes such as mortality,
fragility, impermanence, the human condition, the exploration of the body and psyche, the evolution of man, consciousness
and the cosmos. The work is mainly informed and inspired by dadaist and
constructivist posters-graphic design and particularly artists such as El
Lissitzky, Alexander Rodchenko and Gustav Klutsis.
Pictures from medical and scientific books, bits and pieces of
newspaper, calendar pages and other discarded ephemera take on new life by
being combined, juxtaposed and superimposed; through playful improvisation and
experimentation they form mysterious alliances proving that even the
(seemingly) worthless can have value and meaning. Ultimately, these collages
are a way to make sense of our complex, fragmented world and an attempt to
impose order and unity on life's chaos.
