Silvio Severino Aluado “Tomi Ungerer’s work is in
credibly diverse and complex, making it difficult to choose a favourite. As I explored his catalogue, I discovered many captivating collages and photomontages. I use collage as base of my own work and what I find in Tomi’s body of work is truly inspiring. While he had previously experimented with a hybrid of collage and drawing, it was in his later years that he fully embraced collage as an art form. His unique approach, characterized by a sharp critical eye and the use of surreal elements, is truly fascinating. In my tribute to Tomi Ungerer, I aim to portray Tomi himself as the “Moon Man,” a character from his most famous book and cartoon. Ultimately, my goal is to create an artwork that captures the essence of Ungerer’s artistry and creativity, while honouring his enduring legacy in a personal way!” silvioseverino.com @loop_conspiracy 28
