The name Imago Verbosa is Latin for a picture made of words. In the series “Imago Verbosa,” David Hollier creates images of cultural and political icons as composites of their famous words in the form of painted and typed text. Part social commentary and part documentary, Hollier’s work literally blurs the lines between pop culture and politics and invites us to consider the power of words to influence and endure.
Originally from Wolverhampton, England, Hollier has been living and working in Brooklyn, New York since 2002. He has exhibited in solo and group shows/art fairs in both the United States and abroad. He divides his time between painting and teaching at The New School in New York City. |
