Sebi Schager (AT) – One Size Doesn’t Fit All

Hard black-and-white digital collage, sometimes accented with gold — images combined not by concept but by instinct. The technique is closer to the Wheel of Fortune than to mood boards: elements from antiquity, pop culture, fashion, and religion are cut and clashed until something clicks. The hard edges are the point — collage doesn’t blend, it confronts. A method rooted in the graphic designer’s eye for composition, where knowing what belongs together is a reflex, not a decision. The approach finds parallels in Sebi’s Easy Paintings series, where the same intuitive collision plays out on canvas.

One Size Doesn’t Fit All negates the marketing promise that flatters no one. A Joan of Arc figure grips her sword under a halo, a bearded prophet stares from the lower half, a Basquiat-crowned face watches from the corner, a praying child kneels in the middle, and two revolvers lie ready at the edge — saints, philosophers, innocence, and violence, none of them fitting the same frame. The number 14 and a scrawled signature cut through the composition like graffiti tags on a cathedral wall.
