Kim Allison is a self-taught, emerging analogue collage artist based in Toronto, making playful, subversive, clever & cheeky art using vintage print materials spanning 1940s – 1990s. Her work blends bold colour, design, and wit, often celebrating rebels, misfits, nonconformists, and cultural outsiders through reimagined fragments of vintage imagery. She is inspired by pop culture nostalgia and the emotional pull of lost memories inherent in mass produced media – like recalling a long-forgotten dream. Drawing from a longtime love of vintage magazines, books, and advertisements, she recontextualizes forgotten images to explore and challenge preconceived notions of traditional norms, polite society and acceptable behaviour.
