The “War By Numbers” (Variable Stencil Edition) and “Peace Elephant” (Variable Stencil Edition) are collaborations produced with my good friend and former co-worker Ernesto Yerena. Each piece is a stencil painting with unique variations in background painting and relief texture created with a thick application of acrylic medium through pattern stencils. Both of these images were created during the Iraq war, but the quest for peace requires perpetual vigilance, and the current invasion of Ukraine is a reminder of the brutality of war. The “War By Numbers” image is a statement about not becoming desensitized by war to the extent that it becomes as banal as a paint-by-numbers image. The “Peace Elephant” is an appeal to our sense of Karma and harmony with the world around us. A portion of the proceeds from these stencil pieces will go to CORE Response to help support Ukrainian refugees.
