Reworked Retro Pictures

Facundo Arganaraz Creates Altered Images from Vintage Artwork

— February 21, 2013 — Art & Design
Taking old images and found artwork, artist Facundo Arganaraz reworks and reinvigorates the pieces to create a series of altered images that resonate with a more modern aesthetic.

The artist uses a collage and screen print technique to create new art out of recycled vintage pictures, including photographs, x-rays, photocopies and other nostalgic pieces that would otherwise be discarded. He then adheres the collages on top of a cloudy, paint washed canvas and overlays text, color and other visuals. The effect has a vintage appeal with a modern twist, recreating various retro landscapes for the present viewer.

Facundo Arganaraz does not dismiss the past, rather he gives life to outdated trash through his altered images.
Trend Themes
1. Revived Retro Art - The use of found or recycled artwork to create new pieces that mix vintage aesthetic with modern touches, providing an opportunity for artists to express their creativity and create value from discarded materials.
2. Upcycled Collages - The use of collages made from reused materials such as photographs, photocopies, and x-rays to create a new piece of art without requiring new materials, creating an opportunity for sustainability-focused companies to create unique products.
3. Retro-modern Fusion - The combination of vintage and modern elements to create a unique aesthetic that appeals to both nostalgia and modern tastes, providing an opportunity for fashion and interior design industries to create new products that resonate with consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - The use of upcycling and vintage styles through collage, printmaking and other mediums, provide opportunities for sustainable art businesses to create unique and eco-friendly products.
2. Fashion - The combination of retro and modern elements in clothing and accessories could appeal to consumers who look to embrace new fashion trends but remain fond of past styles, creating opportunities for fashion businesses to capitalize on Nostalgia, a potent marketing tool.
3. Interior Design - The use of reworked art and fusion of antique and contemporary elements in furniture and decor can give the products a unique touch that sets them apart, creating opportunities for interior designers and businesses focused on home decor.
