Collage - Inspiration, Composition, Technique
by Natascha Fix, Jörg Bockow
Description
There’s something anarchic about collage; it loves exaggeration, plays at irritating the viewer, provoking a second glance. It combines things that don’t seem to fit together – and that’s precisely why viewers rarely forget it. This is one of the reasons that authoritarian regimes have always had issues with collage artists.
The more digital and sleek the world and everyday creative life becomes, the better it feels to go on a foray armed with scissors, glue and the joy of discovery.
Natascha Fix showed us her collages and our jaws dropped in amazement and enthusiasm. How does she do it? we asked. Here’s her answer: A large-format book with suggestions and tips, but above all with great works that make you want to do something irrational and disobedient, surreal and Dadaistic, exaggerated and caricatured, to mix materials and analogue work, to cut, tear, disturb. It is a visual manifesto for disruptive times!

Author Biography
Natascha Fix was born in Düsseldorf. She dedicates herself to art with diligence, patience and passion. After the successful portfolio examination she attended the Berufskolleg Adolph-Kolping Schule in Münster. As the best in her class, she earned her vocational baccalaureate with additional training as a design assistant.
In 2006 she went to the Academy of Fine Arts in Enschede, the Netherlands, for one semester.
Afterwards Natascha Fix studied in Münster at the University of Applied Sciences for Design and obtained her Bachelor of Arts in 2017/18 with a special distinction.
Natascha Fix prefers to work in analog mode and uses the computer only for minor post-processing or layout work. Favorite techniques are: Watercolor, woodcut, collage, acrylic, chalk, and most of all she likes to combine everything. She began her studies with the design of children's books, supported by Professor Marcus Herrenberger. Through the impulses of the Berlin designer Raban Ruddigkeit, she began to work with illustrations for adults and has been constantly refining her style and expression ever since.
