Overview

Artist Hieyler Pimpton presents 50 collages on paper for her exhibition I Have Told You 50 Times. The works are part of a series titled If Your Eyes Are Closed, You Cannot See #1-50. Inspired by the collage work of American artist Romare Bearden, Pimpton uses images from vintage magazines and children’s book. She combines these with her own painted and colored papers to create intimate scenes that tell personal stories – from the challenges of personal relationships to nostalgia for the past.

She recently relocated to Georgia after living and running an art gallery in Dubuque for several years. She is originally from Southern California and has lived all over the United States.
