Cohen, Ryosuke (JAP)

Verzamelwoede - April 2007 (Abbey Maagdedale, Oudenaarde).

Mail art pieces from the private collection of Frips. See www.frips.be.
Ryosuke Cohen's work is a repetitive process. Stamps - which he collects thanks to a very extended network of mail art connections - are endlessly repeated in slight variations on sheets of A3 paper. They are quite colourfull collections covering over and over again the entire surface of the sheet. 
During his performances, the artist transforms larger versions of the same type of work into abstract portraits.
