The written word has a powerful role in art, and the two have long been intertwined. Dating back to Egyptian hieroglyphics and Medieval manuscripts, typography has been used in art to create a connection with the viewer and start conversations. The versatile nature of typography means that it can be employed by artists to illustrate a particular message or thought, no matter what that may be. Text art is thought-provoking and often vulnerably honest and it bridges the gap between artist and audience. Whilst our collection is brought together by the power of typography, its variety demonstrates how artists utilise words in different ways. From Tracey Emin’s confessional writing to David Shrigley and Babak Ganjei's nonsensical musings and quips, Peter Blake’s nostalgic fonts and Jenny Holzer’s ‘Truisms’, you are sure to find an artwork that resonates with you.
