Artist Tim Klein benefits from the commonly utilized die-cut patterns for jigsaw puzzles to form hybridized montages that integrate 2 unforeseen images. By thoroughly choosing pieces from puzzles with complementary patterns yet remarkably various topic, he develops wild brand-new visuals. In one montage, an old-fashioned engine replaces an effective horse upper body, while in another, the round shape of an icy-cold beer substitutes the stocky body of a teddy bear toy.
Klein credits Mel Andringa with motivating his own puzzle pursuits, and show Colossal, ““ For me, making use of common, mass-produced puzzles is necessary to the surreal feel of the art work. As I go to yard sales and pre-owned shops looking for classic puzzles, I often seem like an archaeologist finding and ‘‘ rebuilding ’ odd, shattered images whose fragments have actually been suffering in dark boxes on the racks of rural recreation room closets for years.””
