FROM THE ARTIST
With the Invisible Hieroglyphics artwork we lifted fingerprints from the screens of iPads and creatively recast them with colors, giving testimony of our human touch. The traces left from our fingerprints on the screens of our devices are rich with story.
During the creation of this series of work, there was a dominant force of black males in popular culture. It was a moment in time, where the black man had larger than life status and could fit within the frame of pop art.
Years ago my wife and I talked about one day having a “Factory" like Andy Warhol. A space where creativity could flow, where we could experiment with ideas freely and collaboration was easy.

Every time we use a touchscreen on an iPad, we leave tons of oily fingerprints on it. Andre Woolery and Victor Abijaoudi have decided to turn those fingerprints into something else: art.
Artist Andre Woolery and partner Victor Abijaoudi want to preserve evidence that demonstrates how consumers interact with this technology. Problem is — those interactions are virtually invisible.
Andre Woolery went from pushing ads to art, pushing creative boundaries with his one-of-a-kind thumbtack portraits.
Although you won’t find many that look like him in the world of art, Andre is debunking stereotypes and literally pushing his way into the annuls of history with his intricate pushpin pieces, electrifying oil paintings and vibrant acrylic pieces that he and his cohort call Invisible Hieroglyphics.
