Pretty Pieces in Strange Places

‘Eyes on the Crowd‘ has been a treat to choose from this month. Our online art community is bursting with talent. Below are four of our exceptional collage artists, and damn their work’s goood!

Benjamin Dunis, AKA Ben Duni, was born in July 1983 in Lyon, France. Graduated in marketing in Nantes Business School, He led an artistic side project in collages for one year. His inspirations are unlimited and related to his culture : video games, SF movies, war, violence, patriotism, romantism, sex and music… Women are in the centre of the majority of his artworks, they are always the beginning of his inspiration. His goal is to parody a lot of different subjects or develop an idea/scenario through an artwork.
Kathy Seaboyer had her first solo show in an commercial gallery in 2008. Her work includes childhood memories, fact-based historical references and modern-media based information. The work is executed in a variety of styles and media to further enhance the final outcome. She has exhibited extensively most notably at Bemused, Argyle Fine Art in Halifax NS Canada, Art As Spectacle, Katonah Museum of Modern Art in NY, International Millennium Show in Kyoto Japan and Metaphor for the 20th Century at the Hera Gallery in Rhode Island. She will be having a solo show of her latest work in Mexico at the end of the year.

Cora de Lang has worked in many places all over the world including Nigeria, Germany, India, Mexico, Spain and currently working in Sri Lanka. She says the reason why she left her home town and travels around the world is to prove to herself “that the dismissal of the otherness as a culture, countries or people are nourished and preserved by prejudices – and I wanted to overcome them”. Her work really shows her connection with different cultures and worldwide artists.

Stefan Fransson is an artist from Stockholm, Sweden. He received a M.F.A in Sculpture at the Royal Acadamy in Stockholm, and the influence of the medium of sculpture is certainly visible in his textural and multi-elemental collage works. These works are created digitally, and Fransson enjoys the freedom of the creative process in the medium of collage as he is constantly moving the shapes and colours in an image. Fransson has recently begun to display his collages in an international network, and this has resulted in a commission for his work to be displayed in the Google centre in Stockholm.
