Paula Braconnot culls pieces of vintage illustrations to create monochromatic digital collages that depart from their source materials. Religious icons are mingled with textbook anatomy drawings and Victorian-era technological advents. In keeping her work monochromatic, Braconnot endows it with a comic book-like feel despite the often realistically-rendered subject matter. Layers of imagery are piled on in a baroque fashion, bombarding the eyes with black and white shapes that the viewer must slowly discern. The artist is based in Paris and has exhibited throughout Europe and Brazil.
