Artist Portfolio: Collage N
\nBerlin, Germany<\/h2>\n

An active participant in the Collagista Festivals, Collage N, aka Denis Schaefer, delivers a steady stream of thoughtful cut-and-paste collages. His translation of architecture into geometric fragments often results in dense collages. The landscapes presented are utopian, thick pastiches of humanity illustrated by the buildings we live and work in.<\/p>\n

A portfolio of Collage N\u2019s work appears in Kolaj<\/em> #18. To see this portfolio and others from the issue, SUBSCRIBE<\/a> to Kolaj Magazine<\/em> or Get a Copy of the Issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Collage N writes, “I was born in Germany in 1973 as the second son of my parents. I am a self-taught collage artist. I live and work in Berlin. I want to tell stories. The use of old illustrations from magazines and homemade photographs helps me to express myself. I also like paper as a material: it is silent, does not smell and it can be edited in a variety of ways, including tearing, cutting, and folding. It is just wonderful. It is like a universe, as I have lots of time for experimentation and can try many new things.”<\/em><\/h2>\n
