Michel Pellaton

Michel Pellaton was born in Lausanne (CH), he lives and works between Lausanne and Rome (IT).
Michel Pellaton is a collage artist. He “speaks about the world” by inventing, highlighting, and experimenting with joyful and non-resigned visual approaches. For him, collage is a combination of reflexivity and association, a language that spans decades while adapting to visual and cultural upheavals.
His collage grammar, shaped through experience, enables him to engage with almost every field: iconography, semantics, stylistic exercises, currency, digital media, architecture, design…
He also practices collage with the “other protagonists” involved in the process — makers, collectors, and commissioners — following a logic of transparent cooperation.
