CSQ MAGAZINE WHERE BUSINESS + LIFESTYLE INTERSECT

Progress Linked to the Past

In a form of collage reminiscent of archaeological excavation, where one civilization is literally buried underneath another, James Verbicky has created something so primal that it’s innovative. Dubbed “The Media Paintings,” this series combines elements of painting and sculpture to create a unique new ar tform. Layer upon layer of vintage media begins to give these pieces of ar t a form as the line between word and image is blurred into a visual, non-linear homage to humanity’s hectic heritage.Kevin Barry Fine Ar t Associates – Los Angeles - Las Vegas - San Franciscokevinbarr yfineart.com
