Christopher Wool is an American contemporary artist best known for his word paintings: white canvases with black stencilled letters spelling out texts. The artist’s practice draws on elements of Conceptual and Minimal art, using different media including aluminium, silkscreen, varnish, photography, paint rollers and stencils with industrial procedures and techniques made available by mass production. Throughout his diverse practice, Wool transposes elements from mass culture, such as print media, advertising, music and film as a means to create a collision between the media of paint and print.
