Bill DiMichele<\/strong>
\nDanville, California, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n

STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Collage uses process\/antiprocess to own everything.\u00a0 If it’s on the sidewalk, it’s collage.\u00a0 If it’s in a magazine, it’s collage. If it’s on your laptop, it’s collage.\u00a0 The recombinant images create the apotheosis of trash, the deification of the gluestick.\u00a0 The unexpected meeting of line, shape and color give life. Collage is in the brain and on the street.\u00a0 Collage is in the soul and in the garbage.\u00a0 The wind blows it through the alleys, and I cannot help but follow.<\/p>\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Little is known of the life of Bill DiMichele, the apocryphal painter\/poet\/musician of the early 21st century.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 On the snow-covered mountaintops of the Appalachians, he contemplated the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, discovering the true significance of the axiom \u201cas above, so below\u201d.<\/p>\n

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<\/em> and Tip of the Knife<\/em>.<\/p>\n
