The Bardos, Paris

Description

This striking mixed media collage features a black and white photographic portrait of a young man assembled from cut paper elements. The composition is split vertically with a ragged torn edge that divides the frame, revealing a bold tear-shaped patch of bright red paper beneath the surface. The man's face is shown in profile and three-quarter view, captured in monochrome with visible photographic grain and halftone dot patterns. Created by The Bardos in Paris, the piece plays with perspective, juxtaposing a frontal facial view with the back of a head. The vintage paper texture and stark color contrast give the artwork a tactile, experimental quality.
