On March 19th, SALEM will open at Copro Gallery in Los Angeles, a three person show featuring former death-row inmate and New York Times bestselling author Damien Echols, along with surrealist painters & illustrators David Stoupakis and menton3. Choosing a subject matter that is suited to their dark imagery, the three members of their newly formed collective, The Hand, will present new work that deal with the Salem witch trials that took place in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. Take a look at some of the paintings Stoupakis has contributed for the show below, but head over the preview site for a look at all three’s work here.
