Jacques Mahé de la Villeglé
A master of décollage, Villeglé transforms torn and layered street posters into a dynamic visual tapestry, revealing the accumulated history of urban surfaces. The fragmented text, colors, and imagery create an energetic composition that feels simultaneously chaotic and deliberate. This work exemplifies Villeglé's signature practice of harvesting anonymous, collective mark-making from the streets of Paris as a form of found art.
