William Evertson: SCOTUS 6

William Evertson’s recently completed series of woodblock prints, SCOTUS 6, takes aim at the six conservative members of the United States Supreme Court: John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. The prints in SCOTUS 6 continue Evertson’s interest in asserting political activism through visual media. Using collaged imagery, Evertson blends appropriated historical art with contemporary references, creating familiar yet irreverent scenes packed with biting socio-political commentary. The effect is humorous but also (and more importantly) contemplative as the prints raise serious questions about the integrity of the Court’s decisions and its drastic reshaping of settled law. Recent cases decided by the Court’s conservative majority have altered long-standing precedents including overturning Roe v. Wade, granting presidential immunity, restricting the government’s ability to regulate, and loosening environmental laws. Evertson’s prints waggishly critique the Court, sounding the alarm at a critical moment for the nation’s future. 

Please join us for an opening reception with the artist, Saturday, October 5, 2-4pm. The exhibition is on view in our upstairs print department October 4 through December 1, 2024.
