'Ce n'est pas la colle qui fait collage.' Max Ernst


Lovica Dean is an unknown American-Italian artist. Ovid's Metamorphoses and the paranoid/critical method are worth mentioning as cardinal wellsprings for her practice. Her paintings usually include collage which best expresses the Humpty Dumpty times in which we live, with explicit references to painting of the past, and almost always worked on over years to arrive at a Pompeiian appearance.
