AT KOLAJ FEST<\/p>\n

Collage Making with Allan Bealy<\/h2>\n

A Canadian artist living and working in New York, Allan Bealy spent thirty years as a graphic designer and advertising art director and associate creative director. His art practice now focuses on collage and mixed media as well as continuing to publish, occasionally, under the Benzene Editions banner. A champion of collage, Bealy is an active collaborator and a regular participant in the international collage community.<\/p>\n

“The motivation for my collage practice is fluid, often based on an exploration of materials and methods,” writes Allan Bealy. “Humor, dadaist sympathies, colour studies and exploring surfaces and untraditional processes all drive my creative interest. Sharing work is a large part of my daily practice, through collaboration with a wide range of international collage artists, as well as sending my work to magazines, group projects and a large network of mail artists.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At Kolaj Fest, Bealy will host an informal session in the collage making space. This is a rare opportunity to make collage with a true master of the craft and a dedicated member of the international collage community. As an attendee of Kolaj Fest New Orleans, Bealy hopes “to share ideas and learn different collage-making methods, materials and goals. To discover new publication and exhibition possibilities; meet old friends and make new ones.” Bealy attended the inaugural Kolaj Fest New Orleans in 2018. “There is no better way to meet other artists from around the country and the world, to learn and share creative discoveries and participate in an energy-infused art-making extravaganza.”<\/p>\n
