Le MadeReady est une technique de collage artistique qui consiste à réunir différentes affiches déchirées et à les coller ensemble sur un support en papier Canson 220 g. Cette méthode permet de créer des compositions uniques et originales, tout en ajoutant une dimension esthétique à des éléments de communication visuelle déjà existants.

L'une des affiches utilisées pour réaliser un MadeReady dans le XIe arrondissement à Paris met en avant l'image emblématique de Chaves, une figure politique importante du Venezuela. Cette affiche attire l'attention des passants grâce à son message percutant et à son esthétique visuelle.

Au-delà de son aspect artistique, ce MadeReady soulève également une question importante : comment le Venezuela, autrefois considéré comme le pays le plus riche d'Amérique du Sud, en est-il arrivé à affronter de si grandes difficultés économiques ?

La réponse réside en grande partie dans les choix politiques opérés par le défunt président Hugo Chaves. En effet, celui-ci a fait le choix de transférer la majorité des recettes de la compagnie pétrolière nationale vers le budget de l'État, dans le but de financer les missions sociales bolivariennes. Cette décision a eu pour conséquence de priver le pays de ressources financières essentielles pour son développement économique et pour assurer une stabilité financière à long terme.

Aujourd'hui, le Venezuela est confronté à une crise économique majeure, marquée par une inflation galopante, une pénurie de biens de première nécessité et une détérioration des conditions de vie de sa population. Ce désastre économique est le résultat direct des choix politiques de Hugo Chaves, qui ont précipité le pays dans une situation critique.

Il est donc important de prendre conscience des conséquences que peuvent avoir des décisions politiques sur une économie nationale. Les exemples comme celui du Venezuela soulignent l'importance de la gestion responsable des ressources financières d'un pays, afin de garantir sa stabilité et sa prospérité à long terme.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Collages

Collage is an artistic creation technique that consists of making a plastic creation by combining elements of various kinds: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photos, paper paintings, documents, various objects of low relief, etc. When the creation incorporates elements in relief, one can also speak of assemblage. This also includes glued papers, which employ a variety of papers, including newspaper, and drawing techniques.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Dominique Kerkhove (DomKcollage)

France

Kerkhove Dominique, alias Dom(K) is an artist, Euro citizen, tireless walker and patient observer, he search on the walls of cities what makes my raw material: the poster. Ecological Realistic, he use what already exists to transform it. He create "Made-Ready" (or collages) from torn posters. He breathe a new destiny into an ephemeral urban creation to make a contemporary work that fits into time. Free from the straitjacket of a specific doctrine, he recognize, however, a technical proximity used by certain artists: exploitation of under posters (Dufresnes), all over (Pollock), take-off (Vostell). Made-Ready is not a style of collage but an approach that expresses itself through a plurality of pictorial forms whose central element is the paper (poster) resulting (torn) from an urban context. Despite various attempts at hierarchical classification, my work is in no way allegorical. It is concrete and materialistic. It is a narrative work of incarnation. I consciously try to give body to the sensations and perceptions, ideas and values, which constitute my artistic universe. With his Made-Ready he translate his emotions into evolving series (questionings) whose themes address a society in full industrial, moral and climatic change. Made-Ready" where he invite the spectator to react on his own certainties and evidences. A subtle game between voluntary and involuntary memory. Close to the art brut, I define my resolutely abstract positioning for a thematic yet figurative of our society."
