Follow on Google News | "Imprint" Exhibition Presents Collage by Ingrid Bittar and David Woodward at SomoS BerlinA new collage exhibition series at SomoS Art House in Berlin Neukölln starts October 2015 with the "Imprint" collage exhibition by current SomoS "Artist in Residence" Ingrid Bittar (Brazil) and David Woodward (Canada).
By: SomoS “Imprint” presents the work of two young collage artists, David Woodward (Canada) and SomoS Summer 2015 Artist in Residence Ingrid Bittar (Brazil). The presentation traces how the artist's inventive use of heritage and history, nostalgia and retromania allow for very current and relevant work. Apart from formal similarities, and a joint interest in employing crafting techniques, both artists share the ability to make subversive and imaginative use of public historic and vintage imagery to create very personal and intimate narratives. David Woodward: David Woodward uses vintage source material for a very contemporary discourse. Indexing the found imagery that illustrate and symbolize the givens of this world, Woodward adds his own objects of importance to this collage mix, completing and subverting official narratives with personal, poetic and sly recombinations. The Jealous Curator noted: "His color palettes are gorgeous, the compositions are fantastic, and his image choices are the perfect combination of strange, delicate, creepy and lovely" Ingrid Bittar: Ingrid Bittar’s detailed figurative collage work reflect on the formation of identity, and the things that happen inside a home. An obsessive collector of vintage print material, Bittar employs imagery from the worlds of three generations: Also presented are Bittar's "Mappings," new crafty works which visually trace the lineage of her collages.
