Nuclear Disarmament poster
1985
This vibrant offset lithographic poster features two stacked panels in the distinctive style of 1980s pop art activism. The upper panel depicts a serene figure floating among clouds and radiating light, while the lower panel shows a bold nuclear symbol with an atom and radiating energy lines, surrounded by dynamic stick figures. The composition juxtaposes themes of peace and spiritual transcendence against the threat of nuclear destruction. Created during the height of nuclear disarmament movements, the work combines bold black line work with light blue washes to create visual impact. The 1982 date marking at the bottom grounds this piece in a critical moment of Cold War consciousness.
