Surrealism is a form of art that developed in the 1920s with the goal of crossing the line between dream and reality. Now Belgian artist Sammy Slabbinck has come up with a unique collage concept, taking vintage magazines and books that he has collected over the years and putting them together with contemporary images. In his interesting work, you will also perceive a subtle sense of humor, notes of social criticism and possibly even feel enlightened on the magnificence of human progress. Take a step into the surreal! |
