"Vauban's Red Maze" Collage

Number 15 in the series, for this 'Vauban' inspired collage and pastel crayon artwork I have used an old Michelin road map covering some central French départments, interwoven with cut-out pieces of plain artist’s canvas, all glued to a sheet of archival Canson 160 g/m (95 lb) drawing paper which had been pre-coloured with Conté pastel crayons in shades and tints of red. This is another (albeit fictitious) of my many creative interpretations of his planning process - here starting from ‘a map and a blank canvas’ - for this collage. I have also placed on Saatchi a closely matching collage idea but with a shaded blue background. This artwork will be sold complete with a professionally cut 50 x 40 cm (overall dimensions) bevelled mat overlay in ivory white… all that is then required is a glazed frame of the collector’s choice.

 Maréchal Vauban, or Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban (1633-1707), is considered one the of the greatest military engineers of all time. In his life he was responsible for the fortification of over 160 places in France; however his major contribution to warfare was his methods of attack, which revolutionised siege warfare.
