Description
Bittersweet: Noma Bar showcases the work of one of the world's most inventive and provocative illustrators. Noma Bar has developed his unique silent language using a limited palette, familiar symbols, and pictograms that acquire new meanings. Masterfully inscribing double and triple readings into each image, he often employs negative space to conceal alternative stories, just waiting to be revealed.
Bar's innovative and incisive approach has earned him global acclaim and a broad range of commissions, spanning magazines and newspapers to large-scale commercial and artistic projects. Whether crafting a portrait of a divisive public figure or depicting an emotive social or political issue, Bar approaches complex and sensitive subjects with gentle humour and deftness.
This ambitious edition of collected works, selected and commented on by the illustrator himself, provides a multifaceted and illuminating insight into his inspirations and working practices—always full of surprises. It is destined to become a must-have reference source for any student or follower of visual and popular culture.
