The Big A

Paula Scher is an American graphic designer and painter whose large-scale typographic works transform architectural surfaces and canvas with bold, layered letterforms and fragmented maps. Working across signage, theater design, and fine art since the 1970s, she treats language and geography as visual material, disrupting conventional legibility to emphasize form and color over message. Her practice bridges graphic design and contemporary art, using commercial techniques to create compositions of monumental scale and graphic intensity.
