Collage Art

René Apallec

I don't know anything about this artist (yet), simply the little that says on the internet in English:

Probably, René Apallec was born in the last decade of the 19th century in the French region Bolbec. In 2007, there were discovered a hundred of collages with his signature in an attic of Toulouse.

We don't have much information about his life. Did he work as aidman in the First World War? There doesn't exist any document confirming this... It is possible that he lived two years in Le Havre before he found his love in Toulouse.

René Apallec worked out great part of his creations secretly and has always negated to expose his collages – especially the series « Feathered mythology » and « Gueules Cassées »(colloquial French expression for war invalids in the First World War, especially the ones with facial injuries) that he considered as politically incorrect... His collages are abound in references to the cinema, poetry, ancient myths, politics, war...

So cool to see a collage art thread ! I've always been interested in this practice, even when making album artworks on photoshop I favored making xeroxed-looking collages. I started doing "real" xerox collages last year and it's a blast. You can see some of my work here : http://jeanbaptisteleveque.fr/

negativepaperassembly.com is something worth checking out for those interested in much of the work discussed in this thread.

Most recently, released Negative Papers. Depravity Label still has copies, and I believe Apop, Timeless, Quimbys, etc.. should have copies soon if not already.

I am releasing a zine (A5, 24.) of my collages. Everything xeroxed, no software used in the making of the collages or the zine copies.
I'm doing a first run of 10 copies, at a "pay what you want + shipping" rate. If you are interested get in touch via zalhietzli at gmail dot com.

Here are some samples of the original A4 collages :

Thought I'd add this here since this topic is also relevant, recently put out Nothing/Forever zine featuring collages by a few noise artists.

The site currently has 2 publications and will be selling more collage related zines in the future.

What interests me is, when you all going to glue and assemble a new piece of collage art, is there an overall topic or theme in your minds before you start or is it just randomly glueing some pieces together? In my first works it surely was just random "which piece fits to the next" but nowadays I at least try to find something which could make as an overall theme and represents my actual state of mind at the moment, if that sounds not too silly. Most difficult thing for me is to find good and fitting source material.
