“L’envahisseur” – Limited edition prints

Description

This is a collage made with cardboard, wall paper, a stamp and vintage prints from a paper bag and magazines.
The original’s measurements are 30 x 40 cm. this is what I consider my first collage as a work in itself, on loose leaf and not part of a book.
“The invader” is made up of various elements such as the burger, the English stamp, vintage wall paper, red packaging, the hand, the tiger mosquito and a slogan in French saying “unlimited guarantee”.
This Pop and colorful composition illustrates with humour the idea of territorial conquest: Historically strained relations between France and the United Kingdom, the global fast food expansion of the United States or the arrival in our latitudes of the tiger mosquito. All this evokes the idea of conquest.

On the larger versions you may see dust and weft of the prints used. this is intended and is part of the original work. However, the printable version have been retouched by the artist to erase some unwanted elements.
