Sammy Slabbinck (°1977 Belgium ) is a Belgian artist based in Bruges. He began as a vendor of vintage postcards, and this led to him finding his voice as a collage artist.
He renders dynamic surreal collage prints and original collages on paper, combining vintage photographs with contemporary compositional styles. The images are cut up into pieces and redistributed, playing with exaggeration and proportions. Other times, the images are placed in a reverse context, juxtaposing modern ideals with traditional states of mind.
At all times a purist attitude leads to the image in it’s simplest form, without too much digital manipulation, and collage is treated as craftsmanship.
The result is a composition that meditates on the past and considers the absurdity of popular culture.
