Dutch artist Handiedan has created a collage aesthetic like no other. Combining computer montage with highly detailed, hand cut sculptural techniques, her work is built around pin up erotica, meshing body parts together to a backdrop of intricate Baroque and Victoriana design. Using antique stamps, musical scores and playing cards, Handiedan’s meticulously crafted works revel in a latter day luxury to sumptuous effect. ‘Hecate’ depicts a vintage pin up girl, seductively posturing at the print’s centre. Using a monochrome palette, the print resembles an intricate etching, bursting with pattern, type and graphics to exquisite effect. Handiedan’s use of heavy collage technique is breathtaking and hypnotic an exceptional piece of contemporary print making.
