(Sur)Reality Check: Sammy Slabbinck

0/5 ( ratings)

-The first monograph of Sammy Slabbinck: the artist who designed the last album cover for Leonard Cohen, who has been featured in The New Yorker, and who works for multiple international brands -With a preface by Adam Cohen, son of Leonard Cohen Using humor as a visual tool, Sammy Slabbinck choreographs compositions that meditate on the absurdity of popular consumerist culture, both past and present. His dynamic contemporary collages are reminiscent of the great surrealist Jacques Prevert. Often witty but at the same time foreboding and dark, Slabbinck's deft hand creates a unique signature that makes each collage unequivocally his own. Belgian surrealism has another heir. With cut-outs from vintage issues of Playboy and Paris Match, Sammy Slabbinck composes his absurd universes with poetical harmony. Mangled, contestable, reversible. His retro-futuro collages hang in galleries in London; they are used as album covers and digital prints, and have featured in The New Yorker.
