Continuing Robierb’s exploration of how currency establishes identity and power from his 2011 Show Me the Money, the artist examines the multiplicity of economics and wealth with his current MONEY TALKS series.
Whether it is fascination, attraction, shame, or empowerment, money works as a complex identifier for people all around the world. Drawing inspiration from the pictures, symbols, and phrases that are drawn or written on the money across the world, Robierb distills the significance and layers these motifs add to the currency.
Using different techniques and textures, he showcases currencies and lets neon express what the money has to say.
