Sebi Schager (AT) – Everything Anything

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.

Everything Anything — two words that should mean the same thing but don’t. “Everything” implies totality; “anything” implies indifference. Together: a maximalist shrug. The collage stacks the evidence: a Roman coin, a gauntlet, a knight in full armor, a monumental face fragment from antiquity, a female nude, a closed helmet visor — protection and vulnerability, ancient and medieval, flesh and metal. Armor covers the body; nakedness reveals it. The print asks which state is more honest.
