Red Devils: Artistic Variations on a Theme

Red Devils: Artistic Variations on a Theme

Poster for the Red Devils show - my first group art show. 16 artists gathered for this Halloween event to display their own versions of the famous "red devil" of popular culture.
October 2012


Portion of artist invite letter:
Throughout history the graphic representation of the devil has taken many guises, from a fallen angel to a snake and countless forms in between. By the time the 19th century came around he came to be commonly represented as the red skinned, horned demon with a long tail and a pitchfork that we're all familiar with. In some cases he is a benign, almost cherubic figure, and in others he is a suave, debonaire gentleman. More often than not the devil is a truly demonic, malevolent apparition. Whatever version you wish to explore is the one you should follow.
