CMD+V is a New York–based artist working in physical collage. Their practice examines the visual symbols that shape contemporary culture.
Grid structures underpin CMD+V’s creative practice. Within them, everyday images are cut apart and reconstructed. This algorithmic approach is carried out by hand using blade, paper, and paste.
CMD+V draws inspiration from artists working with systems, grids, and photographic reconstruction, including Gerhard Richter, Edward Zajec, Emily Noyes Vanderpoel, Charles Csuri and Chuck Close (to name a few).
The name CMD+V can be pronounced “Command-V,” spelled out letter by letter, or shortened to “Paste.”
