AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

We present you with this original and mixed-media collage on panel (or canvas), an abstract composition incorporating old papers, stamps, envelopes and typographic elements signed by the artist Bergen at the bottom right.

The work consists of a rhythmic juxtaposition of old documents (Rambouillet envelope, stamp of the Mexican Republic, receipts from 1919) and typographic prints playing with the slogan “serious as the PLEASURE.” The artist deftly combines material, the memory of archival papers, and contemporary graphics on a textured cream-white background.

Title: Typographic Composition and Old Papers
Artist: Bergen
Technique: Collage, glued papers and mixed media on panel
Style: Abstract art, Contemporary art, Nouveau Réalisme
Period: 20th / 21st century
Sold without reserve
Signature: Signed Bergen at the bottom right
Condition: Excellent original condition, beautiful texture of material.

Note on the artist Bergen:
Bergen is a contemporary artist known for his collage and mixed-media compositions that evoke the memory of old papers, archival documents, posters, and typographic characters. In line with poster designers and modern collage artists, his work plays with textures, the assembly of fragments of history, and the poetry of words to create balanced and singular graphic works.
