Kike Besada’s Textural Collages Are Made From Found Paper And Documents

moray mair | Art and design | August 29, 2012

Kike Besada‘s found art is exactly that, found. His work looks for, seeks the beautiful in the everyday, the discarded, the unwanted. Unlike many mixed media collage artists Besada keeps the form of what he has found; he then deconstructs it whether it be a document, scrap paper, old photograph and creates a new aesthetic out of it. A still recognisable document simply sheds it skin and begins a new life. His website has this to say:

Kike reinterprets mundane and day to day founded documents and salvaged old papers and memorabilia through the lens of abstract aesthetics, in order to transcend the document’s original purpose and function.
