Short Bio, How and why collages
Born in the city of São Paulo, Brazil (1980), Iuri Kothe is a collage artist and photographer whose recent work deconstructs and reassembles architectural forms (especially stairways) to create the illusion of three-dimensional space through a two-dimensional, abstract form. His work is reminiscent of the Dutch printmaker, draftsman, and illustrator, M.C. Escher's in its graphic quality, obsessive attention to creating convincing, if impossible unions of line and plane, and in its frequently enigmatic or paradoxical perspectives. Kothe's work reflects his professional training in electrical engineering, as his work creates new circuits and flows of energy between otherwise fragmentary and uncommunicative forms.
Iuri’s NFTs can be found in the collections of Bharat, Coldie, Manolo, Plum, Sillytuna, Phon_ro, Debussy, Scalynelson among others. His analog and digital collages have been shown internationally in USA, Germany, Canada, Brazil and New Zealand.
iuri kothe compares his process of collage-making to putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Every layer has very specific position on the canvas, while also holding the whole piece together. The ideal amount of layers… not less, not more.
