Betty Klaasse

Betty Klaasse — Surreal Collage From Vintage Cuttings

Betty Klaasse is a Dutch collage artist who works with nothing but scissors and glue, rescuing people and animals from old magazines and placing them in unexpected new worlds. Her surreal, retro-futurist collages play with scale and perspective, and they reward a second look, which is exactly why they work as a focal point above a sofa, desk, or shelf. If her playful, vintage-led style appeals to you, it pairs well with our other illustration collections.

Betty's collages reward close viewing, so give one piece space as a standalone rather than crowding it. The surreal, vintage palette plays nicely against neutral or darker walls, and a black or walnut frame sharpens the retro-futurist feel. A3 suits a gallery cluster, while 50×70 cm or 70×100 cm lets the detail and shifting scale read properly from across the room.

Sizes, Frames, and Ordering

Choosing between paper and canvas comes down to finish. Fine art paper under glass gives a crisp, gallery feel and works with every frame colour, while canvas brings a softer, frame-optional surface with more texture. For most walls, 50×70 cm is the versatile middle size, A3 suits a desk or shelf, and 70×100 cm or A0 makes a clear focal point. If you are building a set, keep the sizes consistent for a cleaner grid.

Fine art paper prints come in A3, 50×70 cm, 70×100 cm, and A0, printed on 225g matte stock that holds clean edges and even tone. Canvas prints are available in 30×40 cm, 50×70 cm, and 70×100 cm on 400g cotton, stretched on wooden bars and ready to hang. Frames come in oak, black, and walnut brown, and canvas can be ordered with a floating frame for a gallery-style shadow gap.

Every order ships from our Berlin studio. We print, check, and pack in-house, with no outsourcing and no drop-shipping, so the print you receive was handled start to finish by the same small team.

Why Buy Art Prints From Kuriosis

We collaborate directly with contemporary artists like Betty Klaasse and print everything in our own studio, so what you order is made with real care rather than shipped from a warehouse. Explore more of her surreal collage work below.

Every print is made with archival pigment inks rated for over 100 years of colour stability, so the work keeps its tone for the long run. We keep the range deliberately focused on artists we believe in rather than a vast catalogue, which means each collection is curated rather than filler. If you have a question about sizing or framing before you order, our team in Berlin is easy to reach.
