Artist Statement:
Luana Kaufmann's collages are
compilations of found images
that she has cut out and glued
together. She is drawn to
images from the early 20th
century and earlier, and is
especially fond of combining
components from different eras
and cultures. Always
accompanying this diversity is
a unifying theme and a desire
to create a new homogenous
world, in which everybody
looks completely at home and
comfortable. She is now proud
to offer fine quality giclee
print reproductions of the
original collages. Each print
weds exquisite color and paper
to become an archival
delicacy, special in its own
right.
"A couple of images gravitate
to each other and suddenly
state the impending theme.
What was unknown and
spontaneous metamorphoses into
the known and deliberate.
Allowing the components to
have that initial free rein
offers a mystery, a conceptual
palette of infinite range, and
access to the grand land of
the psyche. And then I do
enjoy a little tyranny with my
commands of placement. I guess
it's a waltz of chaos and
order. Or preferably, a samba.
I am very excited to be
offering my designs as giclee
prints for both pragmatic and
conceptual reasons: the color
and detail ...
