Stranger ! Focus on the Good Print

Kerkhove Dominique, alias DomKcollage, European citizen, seeks on the walls of the cities what makes his raw material: the poster. Ecologically realistic, he uses what already exists to transform it. He creates unique "MadeReady" (or collages) from torn posters. He appropriates them and breathes a new destiny into an ephemeral urban creation to make it a contemporary work inscribed in time. Freed from the shackles of a specific doctrine, he nevertheless recognizes a technical proximity used by certain artists: Villéglé, Rotella for the appropriation of posters, Dufresnes for the exploitation of the underside of the poster, Pollock and his "All Over" technique. or even Vostell for its "take-off" philosophy. Recently he added printing ink to his MadeReady. Use of the acronym # as a disruptive decorative element in the composition of his collages. Since 2015, Kerkhove Dominique alias DomKcollage lives and works between Dunkirk, Paris and Tel Aviv.
