Overview.
The art of subversion by the author of the best seller Street art, urban poetry
Theorised by the situationists in the 1950s, these diversions represent creativity under the auspices of the wink, or flirting with the absurd, but also exhibiting a permanent air of suspicion. From now on, in the era of 2.0, everyone can appropriate the cult images and play with them.

Through six thematic chapters and twenty portraits, this book explores the world of these creatives who have the art of unusual rapprochement, manipulation, metaphor. They upset the codes and deconstruct the icons of the history of art or pop culture, manipulate words, hack public space, heckle with reality, claim a salutary incivility, give birth to a new reverie of familiar objects.” …

Anatomy Rocks Flesh & Bone In Contemporary Art.
“If you like contemporary art and anatomy then this is probably the best book to ever cover the subject. Amazing, heavy, and thick coffee table book!”
Anatomy in Contemporary Art.
Since the first dissections of corpses, and the drawings which described the bodies, anatomy and art have always been connected. From the Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings to the Francis Bacon’s naked gures, artists have always been interested in the representation of the human as a biological being.
Today, anatomy is back in contemporary art, following the rebirth of gothic and horror in the entertainment industry.
This reference book includes at the same time the work of world renowned contemporary artists (Damien Hirst, KAWS, Mark Ryden), social networks stars (Jason Freeny), street art icons (Nyckos) and a whole new generation of illustrators.

Contemporary Collage in Modern Art.
“A cultivated visual celebration of tactile illustration, The Age of College vol.2 published by Gestalen, showcases just how frenzied and experimental the results of appropriation, repurposing, and recycling imagery can be.”
A comprehensive collection of examples ranging from subversive to museum-worthy, this striking showcase positions collage between provocation and commerce. Presenting the work of more than 70 collage artists—from established names including John Baldessari and Richard Prince to up-and-coming talents such as Lola Dupré and Mat Maitland—the book explores the seemingly endless creative possibilities that result when disparate images are brought together in unexpected ways.
