Elmago (1978) - Schumacher

The artist, originally from Marseille, cut his teeth with tagging and graffiti in the northern districts of the City of Phocaea before trying other forms of expression: abstract, figurative, collage and assemblage. He has become a major figure in the last decade with this atypical modus operandi that blends different techniques and disciplines of modern art. The world's largest brands on the global consumer market and the biggest figures of international pop culture are systematically cut up, torn apart, stripped, mixed and assembled into graffiti-styled collage compositions that are endlessly stylized to produce unique and colorful canvases that effectively tell a story to the viewer.
