Collage Fantastique! is a collection of 1,500 images for you to cut out and stick down in your own creations. Collage is an inherently queer artform - just ask the queer artists who created it. And activity books and crafts are things that queer people turn to for mindful escapism to create new worlds, even new drag personas. Of course, the book includes images of collage essentials like plants, cats, goldfish and skyscrapers, but it also include joyful, sexy and symbolic LGBTQ+ imagery - from green carnations to suggestive flowers, pink triangles to violets, and of course rainbows to men and women wearing very little whatsoever. Featuring the fantastic work of prominent collage artist Peter Platel, this book is all you need to get collaging - the queer way!

Autorentext

Peter Platel is a queer artist from Belgium who is continuously looking for new and different ways to express his creativity. He is most known for his analogue collages, which challenge the traditional rules of gender, life, family, ecology, and thereby gently, humorously, sometimes even brutally, shift your focus and start a conversation. His work channels his concerns regarding sex and gender, gender as a construct, gender inequality, discrimination, ephemerality, transience, religion and violence. Issues that have always touched him profoundly and can never be addressed enough. His work has been shown in galleries in Belgium, The Netherlands, and the UK.
