Fragile, bound and yet free – contemporary collage art

It floats, shredded, trapped and yet completely unbound. The contemporary collage art here dismantles the body, reassembles it with adhesive tape and proves that the wildest freedom sometimes lies in the cracks. The fishnet stockings cry out for endless nights, the body is both pleasure and lightness. Everything is provisionally held together, everything is absolutely intentional. An explosion of skin, tape and posture. Art that celebrates the sweet disorder of life.

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.
