Please join Hibbleton Gallery as we “pop up” digitally. We will be featuring artists on Fridays as we continue to champion and celebrate creativity, at a distance. So grab a glass and join us for opening night. This week we bring you John Sollom! Artist statement: “In all of my work, which includes large scale assemblages, I like to expand my understanding of artistry as my content asks the viewer to question their own social and political beliefs. I like to juxtapose imagery with collage, sculpture and text, and create a visual back and forth between sarcasm, reality, and nostalgia. My current series of work addresses pop culture, Americana, and the controversial aspects of our changing times with an uncertain future. Sometimes my work is politically-charged; other times it’s a playful look at color, texture and the romantic notion of being a contemporary artist and social activist. The current outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has encouraged me to continue to create work that challenges the political, humanitarian, and social aspects of everyday life."
