The Imagination of Noma Bar

‘The Imagination of Noma Bar’ is an exhibition of the work of Israeli born illustrator; cum designer; cum innovative visual thinker: Noma Bar.  Regularly appearing in the pages of the Guardian, the Observer, the New Yorker, the New Statesman and Esquire, his graphic images have probably already influenced how you visualise contemporary news issues.

From portraits of well known figures born out of the coupling of a few well drawn lines and well placed symbols to delineate the professional, emotional and physical traits of the subject, to clever montages of recognisable iconography, Bar’s work consistently proffers new ways of depicting, through the pictorial rather than the linguistic, issues of contemporary debate.  They are not static, silent and retiring images, but rather loud and demanding ones; images that most definitely ask to be heard; Images that Speak.
