Christopher Wool
Dicecream Magazine🔳Christopher Wool (born 1955 in Boston) is an American artist.
Since the 1980s, Wool's art has incorporated issues surrounding post-conceptual ideas.
Wool is best known for his paintings of large, black, stenciled letters on white canvases.
Wool began to create word paintings in the late 1980s, reportedly after having seen graffiti on a brand new white truck.
Using a system of alliteration, with the words often broken up by a grid system, or with the vowels removed (as in ‘TRBL’ or ‘DRNK’), Wool’s word paintings often demand reading aloud to make sense.
