I Wish I'd Made Anything By Noma Bar

Everything Noma Bar has ever made is brilliant.

He has a wonderful way of looking at the world and he simplifies everything into simple shapes, colours and lines.

Noma Bar has produced exceptionally famous prints. Some which convey a lot more than just a person, place or topic. They carry emotions, opinions and enable discussions and questions.

His work often incorporates negative space and a few bold shapes to tell a story,

Here are some examples:

I love them because they demand questions.

They cause conversation between people, but also within ourselves.

They allow you to fall back on stereotypes, rely on your shared knowledge and provide an easy image to look at. And then almost demand you to think about what these are and why you've used them.

I love the way they rely so heavily on colour also, and our understandings of how these make us feel, or what they remind us of.

There is always more to Bars work than meets the eye first time round.

They are always bold, simple and beautifully executed. He finds character in the ordinary and uses this to make statements to the audience.

They are 100% genius.
