COLLAGE ON VIEW
Uonderland
Opening June 25 Raquel Paiewonsky at Yellow Peril Gallery. Debuted at the New York’s VOLTA during Armory Arts Week, this stimulating series explores landscape, architecture and social metaphor. Raquel uses a range of media including sculpture and painting. Her work takes a look at the masked violence in our social and political systems, “In recent years, my work explores the relationship between our essence and our surroundings, the impact of stereotypes and cultural constructions, always taking as a reference our instinctual selves and the ways in which the primal component of our nature is affected by the new and ever changing contexts of contemporary life.” MORE

Deconstructing Faces,
I Create a Shell
“I pull images from popular culture, and fashion magazines, and vintage images from Life loaded with strong emotional content. By deconstructing faces, I intend to create a shell for the viewers to find themselves in my work.” After starting work in the Japanese fashion industry at just fifteen, Karli Henneman then went on to study at Parsons the New School for Design in Paris and then graduated from Parsons in New York. Henneman has worked as an artist, model, art therapist and also opened workshops for children in Rwanda. She was featured in Collage Artist Trading Cards, Pack 4. We got an inside look at her mixed media painting Lonely. MORE

Last Chance to Subscribe
June 29th is the last chance to subscribe to Kolaj Magazine and start your subscription with Kolaj #15. Each issue of Kolaj delivers a look at the wonderful world of collage: the people who make it and the people who love it. In this issue, we pay particular attention to the source material collage artists are using.
“Collage takes dead material, a long forgotten Look magazine spread or Ford motor car advert, and reintroduces this material into the contemporary visual dialogue. Collage gives the image new life. This is remarkable and unique to the genre.”
FROM THE PRINT EDITION
Victims of Heavy Pruning
Lisa McCutcheon’s collages are filled with natural shapes marked with lines along their contours. Her palette is a muted variety of earth tones and shades of grey. “In one recent body of work, the gnarled and anemic trees in my neighbourhood, victims of heavy pruning, were the influence for a number of large collages.” A portfolio of her work appears in KOLAJ #15.
