Power of Paper: “Anything is possible with a dollar and a dream”

Stretching the perceived value of a currency note, Rousso transforms bank notes of different currencies into giant artworks of different in this exhibition. He removes the currency from its traditional purpose and function of trading for value into symbolic themes that explore the idiosyncrasies of society.

“Anything is possible with a dollar and a dream,” he believes, playing on a currency’s history and use, followed by its rise and fall and subsequent effect on the lives of the people who use them.

Through the intricate fusion of various artistic techniques and his utilisation of polystyrene, he weaves a narrative that reflects his fascination with paper. From currency notes to old cartoons, he touches upon familiar mediums, prompting us to question whether they might become foreign objects to future generations due to the ever-increasing digitization of our world.

American artist Paul Rousso is set to hold his first exhibition in Singapore, unfolding his iconic artwork on paper as a medium and their significance to Southeast Asia.
