Colabella Fine Art Gallery is showing works by the New York street artist HEKTAD and UK-born artist David Hollier. Many of HEKTAD's works include colorful heart shapes with LOVE messages. Hollier creates images of well known people, using their famous words in the form of painted and typed text.
These are three by Hollier. Taylor Swift (created in words from "Lover"), Keith Haring (typed on a vintage custom painted typewriter with words from a Haring journal) and Charlie Chaplin (created from the final speech in "The Great Dictator").
A little closer.
And this Marilyn Monroe painting is a collaboration between Hollier and HEKTAD, with the image created by Holllier's painting of words and HEKTAD's colorful background and hearts.

I like these, Jack.
Very clever.
Fascinating art work made possible by the digital age and the artist's creativity. BTW, I am reading Gerri Lewis' book. She describes some of the buildings in your photographs. What fun!
Very creative.
