Pure Evil

Pure Evil. Frost on the Thames 1814.
Guernica
Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Bastards

Pure Evil is an artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This street-art-flavored series blends pop culture and history with a dark twist. You’ll find Frost on the Thames 1814, a biting print that overlays the famous 1814 Thames Frost Fair onto today’s neon signage, as well as a reimagining of Picasso’s Guernica retitled Guernica (ca. 2009) and Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Bastards, which swaps The Beatles for a punk edge. All three prints drop the same year tag, making 2009 the calling card of this anonymous provocateur. Tap into the series by choosing any of the three prints and you’ll see how one artist can flip history into street-level commentary.
