David Krovblit’s pop surrealist collages explore consumerism, sexuality, and other social themes. His “Porthole” series, in particular, juxtaposes retro exploration gear, floral arrangements, and Western iconography. His work is part of the current collage group show “Mèlange” at Arch Enemy Arts, running until Aug. 25.



“Krovblit’s work is an experience, both visual and cerebral,” a statement says. “Each new piece exhibits well-crafted, colourful images steeped in highly conceptual, contemporary themes. Exploring social commentary, you can usually find a streak of humour running straight through his work. Pieces often incorporate compositing and retouching techniques that show his keen eye for detail and experience with the medium.”

French digital collage artist Mathieu Saunier who goes by "Khan Nova," creates compositions as colossal as his name suggests. Inspired by visions of the future from previous decades, Khan Nova fuses together elements of past narratives with current conversations to create otherworldly conjectures. Such images as men and women in vintage ski clothes posed in front of sleek buildings echoing the Great Pyramids of Egypt convey the spirit of Retro-Futurism, in which the contemporary viewer experiences the excitement past generations held for a hyper-modern future.
