ABOUT THE ARTIST

Vahge grew up in the creepy suburbs of Maryland watching Sesame Street, making up stories, and slowly constructing a three-storied, twenty-five roomed Barbie house. She began making collages one summer during a bout of restless obsession in the company of a philosophical feline and a consortium of colorful characters. Her work is a melding of fairy tale, circus, and punk sensibilities. Vahge draws inspiration from the works of Tom Waits, Egon Schiele, Hieronymus Bosch, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Charles Bukowski, and various dreams and conversations. Vahge's collages are neither abstract nor digital. Painstakingly assembled by hand from small pieces of magazine, cut and adhered with glue, pieces of eye, cheek, and brick are layered into characters and scenes. Vahge currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Her work has been shown in London, New York, Los Angeles, and Santa Fe. She has done album artwork for the punk-cabaret duo The Dresden Dolls, flyers for LA based band HEALTH, and additional artwork for internationally acclaimed Act IV.
