"Crash Course" Collage

Number 18 in my Vauban-inspired series; for this paper collage I cut-out shapes from pre-assembled ‘striped’ sheets of Canson’s ‘Mi-Teintes’ art papers, then intertwined and glued them to a sheet of archival Canson 160 g/m (95 lb) drawing paper which had been pre-coloured with Conté pastel crayons in shades of yellow and red. This is another of my many (albeit fictitious) creative interpretations of his planning process. This artwork will be sold complete with a professionally cut 50 x 40 cm (overall dimensions) bevelled mat overlay in ivory white… all that is then required is a glazed frame of the collector’s choice.

 Maréchal Vauban, or Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban (1633-1707), is considered one the of the greatest military engineers of all time. In his life he was responsible for the fortification of over 160 places in France; however his major contribution to warfare was his methods of attack, which revolutionised siege warfare.
