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. ‘Two’ depicts two men in 1950s style, engaged in an embrace. Handiedan has left the figures incomplete, allowing the intricate background of stylised one dollar bills to shift into the foreground in an intangible but beautiful way. Heavily embellished with intricate design, the final result is stunning and hypnotic an exceptional piece of contemporary print making.
