Artwork from Patrick Merrill: Resistance is Hope - A 30-Year Print RetrospectiveWith over 100 works spanning the years of 1986 to 2010, this exhibition includes Merrill's impressive large-scale woodcuts from 2004-2010, densely inked color intaglio and relief prints, plus a selection of intimate Holiday cards printed for friends and family. Merrill investigated--with unrelenting energy--key themes of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century: psychology, trauma, patriarchy, and war within the framework of a Christian narrative--not for religious but for secular purposes. Keenly aware of social and political issues, Merrill's work raises serious questions about the fate of the human race. Merrill was Director/Curator of the Kellogg University Art Gallery at California Polytechnic University, Pomona from 1997 until his death in 2010.
