Axis of Evil - the Secret History of Sin
AXIS OF EVIL: the Secret History of Sin is an exhibition thematically peeking into the depths of evil in our world and culture through the printmaking form of the postage stamp sheet.
Curated by postage stamp artist Michael Hernandez de Luna, the work in AXIS OF EVIL speaks directly and bluntly about present day issues, such as the war in Iraq, September 11, American foreign policy amongst other current events. The carnival of images resulting in AXIS OF EVIL is a provocative visual labyrinth of social commentary that reflects a historical parallel to protest art of the 60’s and 70’s.
AXIS OF EVIL includes work by the late Ed Paschke (a collaborative stamp sheet with the artist/curator Michael Hernandez de Luna) along with 46 other artists. The exhibition features over one hundred visual works by international artists from Russia, Mexico, England, Japan, Italy, Switzerland, France, Canada, Ex-Yugoslavia, Uruguay, and the USA.
