A Sinner’s Progress: The Artist’s Books of David Sandlin
Georgia Museum of Art
February 2, 2008 - March 23, 2008
David Sandlin’s series of illustrated books, A Sinner’s Progress, follows the journey of his fictional anti-hero, Bill Grimm, through a contemporary suburban landscape animated by manifestations of lust, sloth, wrath and the rest of the seven cardinal sins.
Produced as hand-silkscreened and limited-edition offset publications, this sardonic narrative cycle reflects the anxieties that erupt in an Irish-American stew of evangelical fervor, laissez-faire capitalism and institutionalized intolerance.
The books’ interlaced stories chronicle in graphic form the exploits of the “Everyman” Grimm and his Mephistophelian doppelganger, Carl Bob deVille.
This exhibition features Sandlin’s first six volumes in the series, to date, accompanied by related prints, drawings, paintings and assemblages.
