Thais Revoire was born in the South of Brazil and nowadays she lives in São Paulo.
She is well -known for developing an original collage style that has its similarities with painting, in which she uses pieces of paper as paintbrush. In fact, these cutting techniques used as brushstrokes occurs many times in her process. Using glue, she then creates textures and image aging.

Arturo Herrera is a Venezuelan contemporary artist born in 1959, who lives and works in Berlin and New York. Herrera’s work include sculpture, wall painting, photography, collage and more.
Today I would like to highlight his collage works, which he has been practicing since the beginning of his career.
Using fragments of images from founding cartoons and coloring books, he creates a hybrid context that explores the contradiction between memory and strangeness, innocence and brutality.
His collages are near the limit of figuration and very close to abstraction. His work is part of the MOMA‘s collection, in New York.

Hide and Seek photographic series by the French artist Frederique Daubal.
He cut out pages from fashion magazines and sliced them into fringe, looking like masks similar to Muslim niqābs.
You can find this and many others cool ‘body projects’ in the book Doppelganger, Images of the human being 2011, which is absolutely fantastic!!
