New Amsterdam - Limited Edition 4 of 25 Collage

Tom Baas is a visual artist based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. After his study at the Photography Academy Amsterdam (1999-2003) and the Gerrit Rietveld Art Academy (2004-2007) he started working as an applied photographer and filmmaker in 2007. In 2015 he picked up his work as an artist again inspired by the years he spend on the Art Academy where he developed his conceptual way of thinking. His photomontages are build up out of dozens of images that where inspired by news topics, books and everyday amazement. Tom has been collecting digital images for years often these images are meaningless or even boring on itself but when you start associating them suddenly interesting things are happening. Concepts are being formed while cutting out the images and piling them up to an end result. The works have a Pop-py, StreetArt look and feel. You can wander through them from anecdote to anecdote with a display of the funny and the surreal. See the portfolio of his work on his website (artwork-tombaas.com).
