Vampire Hysteria
DECEMBER / 2021
Project Type: Poster, Acrylic Painting
Dimensions: 18x24 in.
This piece is a hand-painted poster inspired by research I did on the origins of vampire lore and the lack of medical knowledge that caused these misconceptions. The composition and style was heavily influenced by early World War II Propaganda art to evoke the widespread fear and control “vampires” and disease had on society. The imagery used references common techniques that were used to prevent the dead from returning as vampire in 18th century Europe.
