Title: Pangaea
Series: DVC Collection

Camera: Nikon D70, Full Frame
Commentary: I had promised to share some of the artwork created when I attended
the Diablo Valley College in the spring, taking the Advanced Materials painting course.
The only reason this series of three is not listed under two-dimensional artwork is that in
the past I have photographed such things as torn posters. Now I have started to remove
bits and pieces of paper and over a three-month period I have collected a good selection
with which to reconstruct these bits and pieces of images into new individual works of
modern abstract art.
What makes this piece different from Jacques Villegle is that his works are large sections of
torn posters and he then continues to remove pieces of layers to achieve his look. Also his
pieces are mounted to canvas, whereas I choose to work with single layers of individual
pieces, building upon each other and for added realism I opted for a wood as my surface.
The decollage material comes from about six different locations in San Francisco and all
individual pieces were reassembled to achieve this collage.
This artwork is 24 x 36 inches (60.96 x 91.44 cm) and individual pieces of paper were glued
to a wooden palette. I have also added staples and a nail to lend more realism to the piece.

Very fascinating work, Egmont, my dear friend! Sehr gelungene Arbeit, mein Freund! Mir gefällt besonders die Idee des "re-assembling" und eigentliche "Nicht-Kunst" (nämlich alte zerrissene Plakatierungen) durch sorgfältiges Gestalten und den menschlichen Geist zu einem ästhetischen Neuen zu bringen. Wenn ich diese Arbeit betrachte, werde ich wie in einer Zeitmaschine zurückversetzt in die Zeit, als ich mit Gips und Ölfarbe Betonwände und altes Holz nachgebildet und damit in einem neuen Kontext gebracht habe. Ich habe Dir ja Fotos davon versprochen ;-) Herzliche Grüße aus Germany, Stefan.

Definitely a beautiful style, full of creative expression and thought! I like the use of colours and the various details, and bits and pieces that you've chosen to expose for us. I think every piece is a special representation of a particular meaning, creating a holistic and beautiful abstract! Excellent composition Egmont!

Interesting idea of deconstructing numerous random collages to create one ordered collage. Inspired!

Love the way you have balanced teh pieces by means of the "neutral" spec on the right and the bottom. The title is a great match to the feel. Glad the skies have spared you after such long sufferings. Nikolya

Wonderful piece Egmont. It had me fooled. I thought it was one of your "finds". You definitely achieved your goal here.
