Our generation lives under the slogan “demand more”. Therefore, our deodorants work not 24 hours, but 48, toothpaste protects our teeth not 24 hours a day, but 25, not to mention all kinds of "2 in 1", "3 in 1" and multifunctional pieces of furniture. Artists, photographers and installation masters keep up with the popular trend. Instead of just shooting, painting and building, they need to destroy first in order to create later, or create in order to destroy and then create again. So, the Brazilian artist Lucas Simoes, which will be discussed today, creates its incredible collages from pre sliced photographs and shredded magazine pages. Most of all, Lucas Simoes loves to compose collages from photographs of friends and relatives. Of course, with their consent. The artist invites the person to participate in the project, takes a dozen of his photographs, and for inspiration asks his model to choose the song that will sound in his headphones during work. And in this, jointly formed atmosphere, incredible mosaic portraits are born, in which it is very difficult to guess the original model. But this is the mystery of Lucas' collages.
Magazine collages of the artist are born in approximately the same way. Unless for this he does not need to ask permission from the models. Colored glossy magazines are always in abundance in Lucas's working studio. True, many of them lack a good portion of pages - all of them have served modern art well, turning into the familiar collages-mosaics or collages-"snakes" for which the author does not shred the pages, but rolls them up with a tube.
Lucas Simoes has been using magazines and photographs for more than two years not for their intended purpose, but inventing new roles and roles for them. The artist lives and works in the Brazilian city of São Paulo, and you can admire all these fantastic works on his website.
