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.
