A Review of Mangez La Banane Parlez Debout<\/em> by Guillaume Chiron<\/h2>\n

Multifaceted French collage artist Guillaume Chiron released a self-published volume of collage work showcasing various series. Mangez La Banane Parlez Debout<\/em> takes its name from a 1981 advertisement on French television<\/a> (and is a pun on the ad\u2019s slogan \u201cMangez la banane par les deux bouts\u201d) and signals the sort of surreal, absurd, and tasty collages found in Chiron\u2019s book. At 170 pages, Mangez La Banane Parlez Debout<\/em> is one of the largest self-published collections of a work by a single collage artist to date, a remarkable fact considering none of the collages is older than 2014.<\/p>\n

“Throughout the book, Chiron delivers collages with something to say, some deeper idea being communicated. This isn\u2019t the free-range Dadaism we find in a lot of contemporary collage. This is neither didactic nor the collage of happy accidents. This is purposeful, intentional work.”<\/h2>\n
