Melchisedek Shabazz
Richmond, VA
PUNKS, Linocut
PrintAustin’s annual print trade culminates in this exhibition and print sale. Featuring the work of artists from around the globe, collectors (established and new) can select their favorites from the 12”x12” prints.
“PUNKS was created using the reduction technique on a lino block. This image represents self-expression and identity. I use hands in place of faces to convey how everyone has a unique identity that cannot be copied similar to how we all have unique fingerprints. I took inspiration from the Afro-punk subculture to further illustrate this perspective.”
