Collage is one my favorite 2D art forms, not the least because it seems easy to pick up, but quite difficult to master. Since there are so many disparate elements and styles that can go into a collage, I’ve noticed that it doesn’t take long for it to become a big chaotic mess. That’s why I really enjoy collage artists who can embrace this maximalism but keep it well composed and conceptually sharp— which is something I see in the work of Eugenia Loli.
Loli blends vintage images from various sources to create these marvelously surrealistic settings. They are mystical and absurd, with a clever mix of humor and beauty. I think they work well as prints, but I also love that she’s taken some of the collages onto textiles, pillows, and other three-dimensional objects.
