                The theme to my exhibition is the underworld and although we as humans can never truly know what hell, demons, or Satan may look like the artists presented in this exhibit give their visual imagining of the theme. The connection between all of the works is quite simple. They all deal with the underworld, or hell. They also present the demons in charge of these netherworlds and the punishments faced by man. The selection of artists was strictly based on the theme. I made these connections through strong visual evidence and some are based on stories and myths.
