Dicecream Magazine🗿Jenny Holzer is an influential American artist known for her text-based works that often explore themes of language, power, and public discourse. Born on July 29, 1950, in Gallipolis, Ohio, Holzer is best recognized for her innovative use of language in public spaces.
Holzer's art typically involves the use of LED signs, projections, and printed materials to display provocative, often politically charged messages. One of her most famous series is "Truisms," which consists of brief, aphoristic statements meant to provoke thought and reflection. These statements are presented in various media, including posters and electronic displays.

Holzer's work often engages with social and political issues, addressing topics like war, human rights, and the nature of power.
