FROM KOLAJ #20

Pauline Tonglet’s Artist Portfolio

Pauline Tonglet excels at these dynamic compositions and narratives. Densely packed, her collage affords the viewer a rich tableau to explore. She says of fragments, “Their proximity and new neighbourhoods generate a different message, another truth.” She is successful because she understands this fundamental tenet of collage and employs it masterfully.

A giant, god-like hand holds a gas station so it floats in a sea of blue sky. The flat roof of the gas station holds a pool of gold glitter. The station’s sign announces itself to potential motorists flying through the clouds.
