COLLAGE BLOW UPS

For a long time, I have been wondering about the possibility of blowing up my collages which are generally A4. The solution I adopted had been painting the collage on canvas, as one can see in my paintings galleries, with the outcome that the original photographic character was lost. Later, I mixed painting with collage on canvas, but I felt limited by the size of the raw material which comes from magazines. Some people told me to make prints of them, but I feared that the imperfections of the original collage, like raster and moiré would make the result look awful. Still I always hoped to find a way to get bigger pictures. But a couple of days ago, I ordered two A4 collages as photo prints on canvas, each 60x90cm, in order to see what my newer collages would look like. The result is way above my expectations: it’s somewhere between a photo and an aerograph painting.
I’ll show them to my friends and see when I can show them in an exhibition. I intend to sell the original collage with a good scan so that it can be printed abroad (300$) or directly on canvas in Europe (350e).

AGRANDISSEMENTS DE COLLAGES
Pendant longtemps, j’ai réfléchi à la possibilité d’agrandir mes collages qui sont généralement de format A4. La solution que j’avais adoptée était de transposer le collage sur une toile peinte, avec pour effet la perte du caractère photographique de l’original, comme on peut le voir dans mes galeries de peinture. J’ai ensuite tenté de mélanger peinture et collage, mais j’ai souvent été freiné par le manque de photos de grand format. Quelques personnes m’avaient suggéré de faire des agrandissements photo, mais je craignais qu’on voie en grand les imperfections de l’original – trame et moiré –et que le résultat aurait l’air horrible. Mais il y a quelques jours, j’ai franchi le pas et j’ai commandé 2 tirages de 60x90cm chacun sur toile photo. Le résultat est au-delà de mes plus folles espérances : il se situe entre la photo et une peinture à l’aérographe.
J’ai l’intention de les présenter à mes amis et de voir si je peux les montrer dans une expo. En attendant, je vais les offrir à la vente, accompagnée de l’original pour une somme en-dessous des 350 €.
