Collage drawing has become a significant field in modern and contemporary art. Emerging from twentieth-century avant-garde practices, it merges the immediacy of drawing with the materiality of collage. Collage drawing is defined by the assemblage of papers, images or fragments with graphic lines. It allows exploration of diverse registers, from figurative to abstract, through color, texture and composition. This hybrid practice offers layered readings, combining flat surface and relief.
Several artists have enriched the scope of collage drawing. Mimmo Rotella employed torn and recomposed posters, creating figurative works where the medium functions as visual memory. Pascal Marlin develops abstract and colorful collage drawing, demonstrating the expressive potential of the practice. These directions highlight the ability of collage drawing to renew graphic language by uniting found imagery with drawn gesture, placing it in continuity with tradition while opening new paths.
Collage drawing appeals to collectors and institutions for its vitality and variety. At once accessible and complex, it connects graphic practice with visual culture.
