Sammy Slabbinck

About

Sammy Slabbinck is a Belgian contemporary artist born in 1977, renowned for his surrealist-inspired collages that combine found vintage imagery from mid-century magazines and books with modern compositional techniques. He cuts, redistributes, and juxtaposes these images to play with scale, distortion, proportion, and context, often creating humorous or absurd scenes reminiscent of 1950s advertising and Pop Art. His work explores surreal themes by placing characters out of context, blending traditional archetypes with modern ideals, and employs muted tones for engaging, memorable compositions. Slabbinck also produces illustrations, prints, videos, and stop-motion animations for personal projects, brands, and music clips.
