A Picture Paints a Thousand Words: Literally!

There are so many ways to create pictures now with existing pictures.  What do I mean?  One favorite is picture mosaic.  This enables you to create another image using a variety of pictures.  But if you are a lover of text or fonts ot type, then you will love the installation art created by a genius in my opinion.

It deals with the notion of value and architecture of information, biographical texts (Wikipedia) and photos in symbiosis for a textportrait. Black & white, and colour photography, concentrating on human aspects.

The artist himself is less interested in football, more so for people who have influenced and changed by the general public. In all this we should not forget that David Beckham is a soccer player David Beckham or the product, as we know it?

Grundlange this trans-spatial installation, which in several places in New York City, was almost the same time and presented in a similar constellation of the viewer, the “Multiple Portrait” MISSING. Ralph Ueltzhoeffer used the latest “People Missing Report” (2007), this gave him the foundation from which you create individual portraits of missing persons, an anonymous, multiple portrait. Together with the artist Laura Maria May was the beginning of 2008 to places like Ground Zero, the cafe in Europe and the Chelsea Art Gallery – Tomwell, text portraits are exhibited or installed.
