Bill Liebeskind STATEMENT Bill Liebeskind has worked primarily as a collage maker, printmaker and silkscreen artist. He readily appropriates imagery and text from current newspapers and old master painting and drawing and mixes the material with his own painting and drawing. Liebeskind compares and contrasts, looks for disparate images and ideas that can be united, weighs and measures. Liebeskind’s concern and focus is the human condition, past and present. In no way does he try to define, rather he is interested in showing what we already know and see in a new light, with the hope that a new understanding might emerge. BIO Bill Liebeskind has been making art for over 30 years. Liebeskind was involved in the East Village scene of the early ’80s, went underground for a good while and has reemerged in recent years. Today, he is represented by Gallery EHVA in Provincetown, Massachussets. Liebeskind is also the creator and director of The Gift Project, an international traveling museum. Art through The Gift Project has reached over 1000 homes on all continents and continues to travel the globe. Liebeskind lives in New York and teaches art to children in Harlem.
