Collages – To make the most out of (nearly) nothing.

Those 4 collages are made with a very simple technic : I scanned drawings of mine and made collages out of them using Paint (aka the most basic drawing program). I love this idea of bricolage, to make the most out of (nearly) nothing. That’s certainly one of the many reasons I love rap : to create masterpieces without much materials…and very often without even knowing how to read music (like many legendary jazzmen by the way). That’s also one of the many reasons I love the French painter Rousseau. He wasn’t technically the best painter ever, but very aware of his limits, he used his mistakes and his limited skills to create something new, something very personal, paintings like no others. That’s my vision of art : to use one’s weakness and mistakes to create something original. To accept imperfection as beeing something very natural, very human.As being a part of life.
