ABOUT
Sammy Slabbinck was born in Belgium 1977. Sammy creates dynamic surrealist contemporary collages. Found magazine images are decontextualized and re-appropriated as Slabbinck plays with scale and juxtaposition. His surreal collages combine vintage photography contrasted against contemporary compositional styles. The context is often mid-twentieth century images using humour as a visual tool. Other times, the images are placed in a reverse context, juxtaposing modern ideals with traditional states of mind. Slabbinck choreographs compositions, meditating on the absurdity of popular consumerist culture, both past and present. Often witty but at the same time foreboding and dark, Slabbinck's deft hand creates a unique signature that is definitely his own.
