Sammy Slabbinck (°1977 Belgium) renders dynamic collages, illustrations, videos & prints
combining found imagery with contemporary compositional styles.
The images are cut up into pieces and redistributed, playing with exaggeration, scale and distortion.
Other times, the images are placed in a reverse context, juxtaposing modern ideals with traditional states of mind.
His eye for muted tones and surreal compositions make his work engaging, memorable and sometimes humorous.
Making videos has become a part of his work.
Creating surprising personal work, brand advertising and music clips.
