Bill Viola is a video artist that was recommended to me by my painting professor last year. I was working on a series of oil paintings that featured imagery of drowning people, and Prof. Byrne thought I would find Bill Viola’s work inspiring- he was absolutely correct.
Viola is a New York based artist who creates videos that center around the human experience. He explores concepts of birth, death, and the human consciousness, while often using large amounts of water in some way. He created a symbolic display that can features water trickling or a complete deluge.
