Interiors by Doug Schulte
This series explores the interior life of its subjects, and through them, all of us. Human subjects, often depicted in domestic scenes and sometimes partially obscured, are juxtaposed with unexplained fragments of nature, interior scenes, pattern and color, and text. These combinations are meant to suggest rather than define, offering a range of possible interpretations about their feelings, dreams, memories, or secrets.
Doug Schulte is a self-taught analog collage artist living and working in Arlington, Virginia. He started making collage in 2017 as an outlet for untapped creative energy. His work reassembles often inconsequential elements cut from vintage magazines and other paper ephemera into non-linear, abstracted narratives that invite interpretation. He has been featured in Kolaj Magazine, Contemporary Collage Magazine, Cults of Life, the Arizona Collage Collective’s transitional MOMENTS, and several other collage anthology books. His work is held in the Kanyer Art Collection and numerous private collections, and he has participated in solo and group exhibitions in and beyond the Washington DC area.
