Sage Barnes: Less Rules: The Art of Text

Text art has long challenged traditional boundaries of visual art, breaking the rules by merging language with form, offering direct and powerful commentary on contemporary issues. Being embraced by major artists from Jenny Holzer to Barbara Kruger, text art has acted as a tool for protest, identity, and social critique. Its stark clarity and accessibility allow it to cut through noise, confronting viewers with urgent truths about power, injustice, and cultural norms. And sometimes, it's just downright fun.

Sage Barnes embraces this tradition with his own tongue in cheek texts, using his distinct street art techniques and raw handwritings.
