Nagu

D.M. Nagu is known for his provocative approach to collage, highlighted by his exceptional ability to manipulate perspectives in a style reminiscent of the Cubist movement. Through his architectural collages and surrealistic reimaginings, Nagu deconstructs found structures to create a dynamic interplay of compositions. His unique perspective challenges notions of space, disrupting the traditional relationship between form and function.

Collage is a musical as much as a visual remix. The outcome is, if not a song, like a piece of music that contains some recognizably signifying elements, but simultaneously sounds, melodies, and noise without fixed meaning. I never wanted to create music, write a story or paint a picture. Collage allows me to create mysterious, intimate, and potentially disturbing worlds, and the viewer is invited to sing along.

Collage is a way for me to transform the discarded into something aesthetically pleasing and intellectually stimulating. I prefer to work in series, exploring the breadth of an idea, and the potential of the material being used. With an academic background in linguistics and literature, creating collages opens up different ways of expression: thoughts without language, stories without words. Stylistically I choose different approaches: from the abstract to the concrete, from the personal to the political.
