Graphic Surgery consists of Amsterdam based artists Erris Huigens and Gysbert Zijlstra.  Photography forms the foundation of their work.  They deconstruct bits and pieces from their photos and reconstruct them intuitively into altered images by use of scanning, digital editing, printing, photocopying and stencil techniques. The pair started referring to this self sufficient process as graphic surgery. This cut and paste approach has manifested itself through different techniques applied on a wide range of vintage materials, for instance: collage, painting, drawing, screenprinting, etching and digital printing. The creations of Graphic Surgery have been shown in numerous exhibitions throughout the Netherlands, but also in Paris, Brussels, and Luxemburg. More works and a video by Graphic Surgery after the jump!

Besides creating art Erris Huigens and Gysbert Zijlstra also of Graphic Surgery run a graphic design studio under the name EHGZ.   Last week they created a wallpainting at Alley Gallery in Hasselt, Belgium.  Part of the “Random Order” exhibition, the wall-painting clash with Erosie can be viewed below.
