COLLAGE ARTIST<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 World Collage Day Poster Artist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kolaj Magazine<\/em> is pleased to announce the 2025 World Collage Day Poster artist is Montevideo, Uruguay artist Rosita Schandy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schandy grew up and currently lives in Montevideo, Uruguay, enriching herself with the illustrations and drawings she sees in books and those her dad did. Throughout her life, she has explored techniques in a wide array of media. Her creativity took her to paint on canvas and leather, then to decoupage on canvas until she fell prey to the ‘passionate technique’ of analog collage, as she describes it. In June 2024, Schandy debuted a large-scale mural collage as part of her first solo exhibition, “Imaginarium”, which took place at Sala Saez in Montevideo, Uruguay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The artist wrote, “My collage work is completely manual, I cut from magazines, books or from printed images from the web. I work with bright color backgrounds and glue. For temporary murals displayed at exhibitions, I use ‘putty’ type of reposition-able adhesive. I enjoy working on very colorful and generally busy pieces depicting fantasy, touches of surrealism and irony, whimsical details and loving to catch the viewer\u2019s curiosity to keep them exploring a piece to discover more in it. In my pieces, such concepts as the feminine shape, ornaments, fantasy and surrealism, intertwine with religious icons, flowers and comic characters in some sort of playful dance, with a touch of protest, sarcasm and balanced ridiculousness.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An interview with Schandy will appear in the World Collage Day 2025 Special Edition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous World Collage Day poster artists were American artist Michael Paj\u00f3n<\/a> (2018), Canadian artist Rosie Schinners<\/a> (2019), Australian artist Emma Anna<\/a> (2020), Colombian collective Red Collage<\/a> (2021), American Artist Erin McCluskey Wheeler<\/a> (2022), Irish artist Anthony D Kelly<\/a> (2023), and Bahraini artist Ali Hasan<\/a> (2024). The poster is free to download and use to promote World Collage Day and events in one\u2019s community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Collage Day Poster is free for anyone to use. Visit the World Collage Day website <\/a>to download a high-resolution pdf suitable for printing on an 11″x17″ piece of paper.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosita Schandy is an emerging artist and inheritor of a creative genetics. She grew up and currently lives in Montevideo, Uruguay, enriching herself with the illustrations and drawings she sees in books and those her dad did.

She expanded her studies at the workshop of renowned local artist Clever Lara in Uruguay, but a change of life took her to travelling the world for work, so she does, absorbing its art, shapes and colors and cutting and sorting all that which attracts her.
