Mail art no. 74

Mail art

One-sided piece. White paper decorated with blue, white, red, and black paint, stickers, found objects, and ink print.

A sheet of white paper layered with collage elements, typed and stamped text, and splattered paint in black, yellow, red, and blue. Text fragments include “PASSION CREATION,” “YOUTH & MAIL ART,” “EXHIBITION,” and various postal stamps and addresses such as “Director Kibbutz Gezer, ISRAEL 73220” and “Hombeek Belgium.” Several overlapping ink stamps and printed symbols appear throughout, with portions of Hebrew text faintly visible in the background. The colorful paint splatters cross diagonally over the page, creating a chaotic overlay on the postal and textual elements beneath.
