La Société Anonyme is the moniker of an Eindhoven-based artist whose practice spans graphic design, music, and analog collage. Born and raised in the Netherlands, he has been making collages for over two decades, sometimes integrated into design work, sometimes purely for the pleasure of cutting and assembling.
The name “La Société Anonyme” emerged as a conceptual framework a few years ago, inspired by the recurring presence of anonymized figures in their work. These characters, masked, obscured, or otherwise untraceable, seemed to belong to a secret society operating in some alternate dimension. The pseudonym offered both a unifying theme and the freedom to explore a wide range of subjects: masculine and feminine, shadowy and serene.
Originally, the intention was to keep the artist's identity concealed, allowing the work to speak entirely for itself. But as interest has grown, through exhibitions, sales, and interviews, that veil of anonymity has begun to lift.
