Chantal Rens
From chantalrens.com:
“Chantal Rens (1981, Etten-Leur) received her BFA at the Academie voor Beeldende Vorming in Tilburg, the Netherlands. Her work consists mainly of analog collages with photography as a starting point and books she publishes herself under the label PANTOFLE BOOKS, the independent publishing house she founded in 2014 together with Dutch cartoonist and artist Gummbah.
In general, her works can be described as uncanny, funny, sometimes unsettling, with playful interventions that challenge what you are seeing. Rens wants to protect her work against the usual analyzes, rational considerations and comparisons. Her motto is rather: let yourself be carried away with wonder, be open to the unusual. Her works do their utmost to provide nutrition for the requested attitude.
Her book YOU RUN AROUND TOWN LIKE A FOOL AND YOU THINK THAT IT’S GROOVY’ – a collection of 100 collages of animals balancing alcoholic drinks on their backs – was said to be ‘perhaps the most unnecessary but absolutely the most funny book of 2016‘
In 2018 she published two books: COMMON SENSE IS A HUNGRY BITCH, an array of 50 collages surrounded by carefully juxtaposed spot colors and Various Animals, a board book with 12 full-page collaged photographs of weird and wonderful animals.”
