After discovering that manufacturing companies tend to reuse the same shaped pieces for multiple puzzles, artist Tim Klein combines the interchangeable parts to make his own montage puzzle art.
Klein prefers to use vintage puzzles from thrift stores and garage sales, across a range of themes and subjects. “The imagery in jigsaw puzzles published nowadays tends to be very busy, often consisting of densely-packed collages constructed with Photoshop,” says Klein. “But for my purposes, I favor puzzles from pre-digital years, when the picture was typically a photograph of a single subject, such as a galloping horse or a ballerina or the Empire State Building.”
