Shared beauty, double desire – contemporary collage art

Two women, torn apart and reassembled. The eyes speak of control, the lips whisper of loss of control. Two strangers forming an intimate alliance on paper. Contemporary collage art, which strikes desire and confusion like a blow to the head. The gaze lingers on the fractures, where the skin appears torn open, where identity becomes blurred. A game of longing and deception in which it no longer matters who owns the eyes and who owns the lips. This is not about beauty, but about the intoxication of incompleteness.

Modern Madonnas – contemporary collage art that cannot be categorized

The Modern Madonnas series breaks with expectations. There are no smooth, decorative pictures for sterile rooms here. This is contemporary collage art that looks, questions and tears up appearances. Paint, sand, varnish – layer by layer, art is created that remains because it does not adapt.

The creative process

There is no fixed scheme in the Modern Madonnas series. Each work emerges from the interplay of material and intuition. The collages are not planned in advance – they develop in the process.

Traces of manual work, small irregularities, intentional imperfections – the process remains visible here. The works live from the human touch: from visible interventions that show that it was not a machine but a person who worked on them. It is precisely this imperfection that makes them an authentic example of contemporary collage art.

Each picture is created in close collaboration: the photographic basis is created by Martin Wieland, while the collage, overpainting and material combinations are developed and implemented by his art director Dietmar Halbauer. This creative exchange makes each work a multi-layered, unique original.
