Landkee's collages are simple--but they do have a few distinguishing qualities. He knows not to overdo it, which can be an asset and it helps to define his style. There are some other collage artists that make collages like this, (small shapes on a big white blank canvas) but what's different here is the use of international materials. These definitely make it more interesting!

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: Random x 10.
Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: Anything that can be stuck to a piece of paper. Newspapers, magazines, postcards, photographs, all sort of junk mail, stickers, et cetera. I enjoy using material from different countries.
Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: Since 2003 with a long break in between. I can't explain what made me start and restart; it just felt right.
Q: Are you solely an artist, or do you work in another profession?
A: Employed full time elsewhere. Hopefully someday I'll be doing just art.
Q: Do you have any formal art training?
A: No, I purposely avoid any sort of training and art technique books.
Q: Explain your favourite techniques.
A: People noticed that I often leave background blank. It makes some viewers uneasy, but I am not doing it on purpose.
Q: Describe your favourite piece ever created.
A: Most recently I enjoyed no. 255 (with a boy being crushed). I also had fun creating collages with stickers & rubber stamps (no. 44, for example).
Q: What other artists do you admire?
A: Pretty much everyone. Miró, Kandinsky, Malevich, Mayakovsky , Schiele, Klimt, Mucha, da Vinci, Magritte, Thiebaud and many more.
Thanks Landkee!
