Step into a realm where collage becomes a visceral commentary on our times. The Great Incongruence presents a meticulously crafted collection of paper tirades by Christopher DeGon that document the world through his lens, each piece shaped by lived experience. The series confronts willful ignorance and hypocrisy, depicts complacent citizens stirred toward revolution, and traces the uneasy choices of fence-sitters. Made from vintage paper, X‑acto knives, and adhesive—and charged with a palpable angst—these layered works invite viewers to explore the complex, chaotic beauty woven through each composition.
