Bill DiMichele STATEMENT Collage uses process/antiprocess to own everything. If it’s on the sidewalk, it’s collage. If it’s in a magazine, it’s collage. If it’s on your laptop, it’s collage. The recombinant images create the apotheosis of trash, the deification of the gluestick. The unexpected meeting of line, shape and color give life. Collage is in the brain and on the street. Collage is in the soul and in the garbage. The wind blows it through the alleys, and I cannot help but follow. BIO Little is known of the life of Bill DiMichele, the apocryphal painter/poet/musician of the early 21st century. He is said to have studied quantum physics with Feynman, philosophy with Zoroaster, religion with Akiva and art with the great Miketta. Legends tell of him learning painting from Native American shamans on the banks of the Monongahela River. On the snow-covered mountaintops of the Appalachians he contemplated the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, discovering the true significance of the axiom “as above, so below”. The only thing that is certain about DiMichele is the work that remains. Bill experimented with various styles and media, with color and black-and-white, and left as his legacy Score and Tip of the Knife. Max Ernst rules! ARTIST CONTACT IMAGES
