Artist Statement

I adore creating collages.

An old renewed art, which allows me to express myself with freedom, creativity and fantasy.
With obvious simplicity I put together cuts and scraps of my own or someone else's images.
I put some color spray here and there and fix dreams, memories and feelings on the paper.
The result is a fantastic world of signs, only apparently chaotic.
The unusual elements are superimposed, they mix and they meet to start unusual images.
I try to give body to a nonexistent reality, belonging to a fantastic and poetic world.
A caprice of forms which is seen not only with the eye but also with the imagination.
I try to give a world of emotion to the eyes of those who look upon them.
A game? Maybe or maybe not.

OM.2011.198 - ADRIANA LANGTRY CARRERI - Italy - Collage Centennial

OM.2011.198
AUTHOR: 

ADRIANA LANGTRY CARRERI
Milan, ITALY



WORK DESCRIPTION: 

Title: “Uranian Alphabet”
dimensions: 13x 18 cm
year: 2011
materials: mixed media collage


STATEMENT: 
Collage is an ancient technique with an enormous expressive potential. It offers a lot of opportunities for experimentation with materials and invention of new realities. Cutting, tearing, layering, pasting, shifting and removing pieces, painting my own papers, looking for old images or working with asemic writing, I feel like an alchemist exploring the mystery or a “dirty nails” gardener planting seeds. Collage for me is freedom of expression, an endless creative research in a constant metamorphosis. A bright fragment of life.
